I have just updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 on my Bootcamp iMac and I noticed that I was no longer able to use the mac keyboard to adjust the volume, change the brightness, etc...
Would there be any way to get that functionality back? I use those keys quite often so it has been an inconvenience since upgrading to Windows 10. Any help would be much appreciated.
iMac, Other OS, Windows 10
1. Roll back W10 to W8.1 and wait for official W10 BC drivers from Apple.
2. Use System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers or Boot Camp: Solve Windows support software installation problems .

A repair install of the Boot Camp drivers fixed it for me.
When I try a repair install of Boot Camp drivers, it stalls forever at the point of "enumerating pre-install packages".
I'm on a Mid 2015 15" Retina MBP.
How pity is windows 10 on my little Macbook 2011, it doesn't support driver such as function keys!
I downloaded new bootcamp but it still can not support windows 10. it was show message bootcamp support only windows 7 (Macbook 2011)
I maybe don't rollback to windows 7, and hope apple will update bootcamp that can support windows 10.
Similar to the above suggestion, I went back into Bootcamp assistance in OS and chose the middle option, to download and update the windows files on a usb stick. Returned to W10.1 and ran the update. ALL PERFECT. All the mac keyboard button functions have returned.
I was having similar problems as you, Phearinkh, on my early 2011 MBP. Did you have any luck? I tried a fresh install of Windows 10 from Boot Camp Assistant and it told me that I needed a 64-bit version for it to work, so I'm going to try that now.
I installed win 10 on my old MBP from 2009 for my wife (she doesn´t like osx). My MBP stays untouched 😉
Everythings was workin fine under win 7. After the upgrade, at first, keyboard wasn´t functioning either. But then i just installed the keyboarddriver from bootcamp 5.1 again (admin privileges). Now everything is workin flawless.
I use a Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with my Surface Pro 3. After upgrade to Win 10, keyboard worked but without any of the enhanced functions. I did the following:
Google AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe find another driver, the function key will be good.

Thank you! This worked for me perfectly!
@tikitak Thank you. This worked on my iMac 27" 5K(Retina) Mid 2015 base model. For anyone else wanting to fix their iMac.
Running a IMac late 2013 and just upgraded to windows 10 on Bootcamp. Brightness and sound could not be controlled from the wireless keyboard. I did a repair install of the drivers seemingly without success. After a period of frustration 😕 and a degree of poking around, I looked at the Boot Camp control panel installed on my taskbar. I selected the Keyboard tab and ticked and applied "use all F1, F2 keys as standard function". F1 or F2 seemed to call up Chrome for some reason so I unselected the option and applied the change. Whether related or not the keyboard function keys started to respond appropriately and I now can control brightness and sound from the keyboard 🙂
So just in case anyone else is struggling maybe this might help but I don't pretend to understand why!
How does one do a "repair install"?
Thanks
