BootCamp fails to start after upgrade to MacOS Sierra 10.12.1

After upgrading my MacBook (Retina 12-Inch, Early 2015) to the newest version of MacOS Sierra 10.12.1, my Windows 10 Bootcamp won't boot and throws off an ACPI.SYS error. Since the keyboard and mouse does not work in Recovery Mode, I plugged in a keyboard. I did a "Reset Files" and nothing. Before I wipe out my BootCamp partition and start over I wonder if anyone else encountered this problem after updating from MacOS Sierra 10.12.0...

MacBook, macOS Sierra (10.12.1), Macbook 12-inch (Early 2015)

Hi Guys,


Thanks for the updates. The 10.12.2 works for me.


As mentioned previously, I've rebuilt my 2015MB12. I skipped NOT install the Bootcamp Bluetooth drivers while installing the Win10 1607. Then I can use BT Win10 for weeks without any issue.


Right NOW, I ONLY launched App Store in macOS 10.12.1 and go to Sierra. I can see 10.12.2 is available (I tried Hong Kong and Canada regions). I just downloaded and installed the 10.12.2 on my 2015MB12 and restart automatically.


Checked macOS is already 10.12.2, launched Bootcamp and downloaded BC drivers (saved in USB flash). Rebooted to load BC Win10, checked the BC Broadcom folder of 10.12.2 and 10.12.1, found the packages size are the same, package info are the same, the signature are the same. Then I run and install the Broadcom Bluetooth, The Win10 Device Manager show the Bluetooth installed properly.


Rebooted to load BC Win10 again, NORMAL. Run couples of software and browse Internet, no different. Tested Bluetooth mouse, works. Rebooted again and again for 5 more times, everything resumed normal. Great!


In addition, I also upgraded my 2016MB12 to 10.12.2, also everything normal.

The same here.

I used Win10 (1607) under Bootcamp 10.12.1 by having disabled "Intel Serial IO UART Host Controller"

Just updated to macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and booted into Win10, enabled the "Intel Serial IO UART Host Controller" again, and it works.


Seems you don't have to install any new drivers on the Windows side. I assume 10.12.2 fixed the issue in the UEFI (formerly known as BIOS)

Agreed with you. Per my IT experiences, I already suspected in early stage that the problem was due to Sierra 10.12.1 updates. After read many users' complains, combine with their senerios and my extra tests on rebuilds. I already concluded that there is new bugs added in Sierra 10.12.1, but some senior level guys in this thread still keeps "advise" people to uninstall, load other version drivers, export log reports, even rebuild BC Win, etc., but not solution. Just wasting our times!


There is no solution at all, but only workaround - either disable the Intel Serial IO UART Host Controller, or skip not install the Broadcom Bluetooth driver. However, there is no Bluetooth devices can be used.


Now, with the newest 10.12.2, I can use BT keyboard & mouse, headphone, and share photos from mobile phone.

I have a simillar problem trying to run the latest Windows 10 on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro (2012).


Yeah I know it's probably "old" already, but Windows used to run just fine, then I temporarily got rid of it because I needed more space on the Mac partition. Installed Windows again after the last macOS Sierra update. Windows installs and runs but when I try to install BootCamp drivers it pops up the BSOD with a KeyMagic.sys, Stop Code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. and then restarts. Tried reinstalling Windows, redownloading drivers through BootCamp assistant. Also tried installing drivers one by one from the BootCamp folder. Everything seems to work except for the keyboard, trackpad and sound drivers. Any attempt at making it work results in the KeyMagic.sys related error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
