Windows 10 Crash after disconnecting power adapter Macbook pro 2014

Hi, I´m having problems with bootcamp once it´s running windows 10, during the installation I didn´t have any problem but then when all it´s install, windows 10 crashed, I read some post here that other people had the same problem related with the drivers, especifically with the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200, in my case my Macbook pro 2014 its Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5100.

Trying to fix this Windows 10 crash I did all the process suggested in this post Re: Windows 10 crashing, but not sure why., and it seems Windows 10 started to work fined but then unexpectedly crash, I tried two or three times and then I realized that Windows 10 was crashing when I unpluged the power adapter, so I restart the macbook and it boot only if the power adapter is plug and it works perfectly but only if it´s plug, I´m not sure if this problem is also related with another windows update drivers, But I noticed something, I´m not sure but I think this problem start during bootcamp installation because when the SSD was partitioned, and then boot to install windows 10, this process only start if the macbook is plug with the power adapter. I don´t know if always needs to be plug or only it´s recommended if the battery discharge.

I "resolved" the problem by adjusting the power settings of Windows from balanced to high performance.

Funny that this is needed on the 2014 13" MBP as on another 2014 15" MBP, the power settings are set as balanced and it works perfectly fine.

Did you ever get this resolved?

I am encountering the same problem with the exact same hardware which is also upgraded to a 1TB SSD

Windows 7 will install and run perfectly when power adaptor is connected.

Once power adaptor is removed, windows will hang. Booting up windows without the power adaptor will just end at a black screen with the mouse cursor.

Machine works fine when running on OS X Sierra.
