Windows 10 crashing, but not sure why.

In the last couple of days, Windows 10 fails to start when switching from OS X to Windows in Bootcamp. I recently installed the latest update to OS X El Capitan and Windows started fine from Bootcamp. After about 3-4 mins in Windows -- it was downloading and installing updates -- screen goes black, and then a screen pops up indicating "Attempting Automatic Repairs". Those automatic repairs failed. After several attempts to restart, I eventually got a "no bootable disk found" error.


So I decided to use Bootcamp Assistant to uninstall Windows and remove the partition, and then do a fresh partition and windows reinstall. Same thing happens. Windows installs fine, runs fine for 3-4 mins and then crashes.


I have no idea if this crash is due to a Microsoft issue involving updates, a conflict involving Bootcamp or Apple drivers, or something else. Anyone have ideas?

I'm having a similar issue. I'm getting Blue Screens every few days with KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED for AppleSSD.sys.

I don't think this started happening until after I updated to the Anniversary Edition, but I wasn't on the previous build for very long as it was a new setup. Has anyone else had this same BSoD? Maybe if I reinstall I should also prevent the SSDs IDs from updating....

In some releases of the BC6 drivers used by W10, AppleSSD.sys is an unsigned driver. For your specific year/model, AppleSSD.sys is not used. It is only relevant to a MB Air which uses a SCSI interface to the internal storage. You can remove it by using Paragon NTFS for Mac Trial and gaining read-write access to the Windows partition.
