Q: NVIDA Video Driver was not respondong and has recovered (Windows 10 Boot Camp) NEED HELP!

When I first installed Windows 10 Boot Camp a few days ago, the whole installation thing went smoothly until I restarted my Mac and the screen went black after login (with blinking cursor). Many hours of research and talking to Microsoft and Apple support later, I reinstalled Boot Camp a second time and SAME thing occurred. Talked to support again and then after no resolve, reinstalled one more time. Same problem but this time I didn't restart the computer. The screen just went black halfway through installing Boot Camp on the Windows side. I left it as it was for many hours and this Windows notification glitches through into the login screen: NVIDA video driver (make #) was not responding but has covered."

 

However, it has not recovered because the issue persist. Everything is fully responsive except the screen which is a light black (the backlights are on). Apparently this is a common problem amongst both PCs and Macs for Windows 10 but there seems to be no consistent way to solve it.

 

Has anybody else had this issue with Windows 10, specifically on Boot Camp? How did you resolve it? Please, don't say reinstall Boot Camp. I've done that three times and that didn't help.

 

Also, I have not been able to start  Windows in Safe Mode because I can't figure out how to on Windows 10 Boot Camp.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

    If Windows fails to start three or more times, it automatically starts recovery. In your case, W10 does start, but the nVidia driver fails. The same behavior has been observed for AMD cards swell. It is an issue with W10. Which specific build of W10 are you installing. I suggest trying 1511_1 or 1511_2 ISO files, instead of the 1607 or Anniversary versions.

    The build is 1511. How would I go about getting the other build versions?

    I am running W10 on a 2013 rMBP with drivers for GT750m. Once I have access to the rMBP, I can post the exact version. I have not seen similar issues.
