boot camp 6.0.1 and windows 10 does not load
I have an IMac 2013 (Late) running Boot camp 6.0.1 I had Windows 10 running on this partitioned drive (300 GB for Windows) up until the last weekend in January. For some unknown reason I tried to start it in windows and it crashed. (Could not repair it ended up reloading Win 10 again.) Now I have tried to do this at least a dozen times thinking that I was doing something wrong. The specs on my system are below.
The Boot Camp install for Windows 10 Pro will work 99.9% of the time. Every time the Boot Camp install is where the system breaks (eventually) The Realtek driver does hang up and I have followed the instructions to work around this by opening task manager, right clicking to open the file then install it. The driver installs then I end up force quitting the Realtek install. The rest of boot camp installs no problem. Then I reboot....windows then tries to repair itself and sometimes it will and other times it does not then I end up reinstalling again. 😠 When windows gets done repairing....boot camp is ALWAYS gone.
I have tried to run the apple software update....only installs Itunes (That it seems like killed the install one time)
Reinstalling boot camp just either breaks the Win10 install worse or does not work at all.
The system appears to work just fine with OS X ELCapitan and I see no signs that the hardware is failing.
I did download the latest support drivers to my flash drive. The check box does not seem to do it from the boot camp program so I have used the drop down selection under actions appears to work....but takes a VERY long time. 20 minutes or more (not sure if that is normal or not)
I have don't know what else to try....I have wiped the install again and decided to wait till I can be sure that it will work again. (I suspect maybe there was some driver update that killed the Win10 install. Lucky for me there was nothing saved that was a problem if it was lost otherwise I would be pretty angry right now)
Hopefully someone will be able to give me some help with this....I do use the windows side when I work from home.
