windows 10

Windows 10 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. No hardware drivers. Wait for official support then install Windows 10.

It's not the cause of the problem. Windows 7 drivers worked fine.

Hey! I clean-installed Windows 10 in early August, and it worked fine with Windows 7 drivers (you need to install Boot Camp software as administrator and in compatibility mode). The problem you (and me) are facing is related to Windows Update: after installing one of the updates few days later, I noticed I could no longer use the trackpad. I reinstalled the OS three times until I found posts about the same problem on the web. I don't know exactly which update caused the problem, but it's up to Microsoft to issue a patch as soon as possible. Fortunately, Windows is pretty usable in keyboard-only mode (unlike OS X).

It is not up to Microsoft to provide drivers for Apple hardware. Apple will release drivers for their hardware for Boot Camped Windows 10. Read the system requirements for Boot Camp System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support. Windows 10 is not yet supported. No drivers from Apple.

Nevertheless, the Windows 7 Boot Camp drivers did work with MacBook trackpad on Windows 10. Until Microsoft released one of the updates that, in fact, killed the compatibility. I'm not talking about the official Boot Camp support for Windows 10. But if something worked before the updates, and stopped working after them, it's probably the updates (and their developer) to blame.

MS and its update may be to blame, but Microsoft couldn't care less if Windows works on a Mac. Unless trackpads on Windows laptops are having the same issue its unlikely MS will do anything at all.

Apple is still responsible for releasing drivers that make their hardware work on Bootcamped Windows.

So again, once Apple releases the drivers, you can be pretty confident all hardware will work.

As it stands, Windows 10 is not yet supported. So while some of the Win 7 drivers may work, there's no guarantee they will for everything.
