problem with running windows 10 on bootcamp AppleSSD.sys

User uploaded fileI have this error when trying to run windows 10 via bootcamp. I have a have 4k iMac with a 1tb fusion drive. Im not sure if its getting confused with the SSD on the fusion drive hence the error code. I tried to delete AppleSSD.sys through NTFS Paragon but could not find it in BOOTCAMP/Windows/System32/Drivers (doesn't exist)


Any help is greatly appreciated


thanks

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

I'm having this same issue too (or similar). I've tried different versions of the windows installer but the problem seems to be with the bootcamp 6 drivers. Mine booted into Windows, BSOD'd then after about 5 restarts finished installing windows, but would randomly (every few minutes) BSOD, stop code KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED What failed: AppleSSD.sys just like in your picture.

I did find AppleSSD.sys in the Drivers folder but deleting it with paragon before the installation made the issue worse, I get a "windows cannot complete installation, restart the computer" error. This is on the same iMac (4K/16/1TB fusion) but macOS Sierra 10.12.5.

This is a real problem and makes me think it has to be with drivers specifically for the fusion drive we both seem to have in this model iMac.
