Has anyone successfully updated to Windows Creator in bootcamp on a MacMini late 2014?

I confirmed that the above solution worked and successfully updated to Windows Creator in bootcamp on Mac mini late 2014.

This is what I expected.

However, as I couldn’t understand the exact meaning of “re-install the W10 BC6 Intel driver”, I haven’t tried to re-install BC6 Intel driver.

So, my machine is currently running on “Microsoft basic display driver”, with display resolution 1920 x 1080.

So far, my machine has been working fine with no trouble.

I suggest not installing the BC6 driver provided by Apple. This may limit gaming, but does allow the machine to be functional.

Considering that Windows10 Fall creators update is coming up next week, and the same driver issue may occur during updating to Fall creators, I'll keep using “Microsoft basic display driver”, and see if updating to Fall creators using “Microsoft basic display driver” would work.

I’ ll let know the result next week.

If you are using the MS Basic Display Driver, Fall Creators Update should work properly.

LonerT, of course, you can install Creator on mac mini 2014, but only using a basic graphics driver, which is pointless from the perspective of a normal user - I do not need an upgraded system that de facto works as a terminal server - with basic graphics support. I want to have a fully functional audio and video system.
So this method (which I've tried a lot earlier - see my entries in the microsoft and intel forum ) does not solve the lack of support for W10 Creator for mac mini 2014.

I suggest posting setupapi.dev.log after the Creators Update is successful, and the BC6 driver fails to install, asking Microsoft Technical Support for help.

There is not much Apple can do if two different releases of the same OS disallow drivers. If W10 Anniversary can grandfather a W7/W8.1 driver, why does W10 Creators fail?

As I've already written, support mcrosoftu advised me to look for help in apple, apple advises me to look for help in microsoft, and helpdesk intela claims it's not his problem, because its drivers run on apple computers (but not on creator in mac mini).
So you understand that such advice is not helpful - then apple must examine togheter with microsoft and maybe intel what their hardware ( beacuse it is apple hardware, not regular pc ) blocks the intel driver after updating to creator. Of course, this is a must, and I think mac mini is a dropped device and that is why there is no solution for this problem.

Can you post the post-creators Update BC6 installation setupapi.dev.log to PasteBin or Dropbox and provide a link?

Just post the Intel GPU parts and remove your personal information before posting the contents.

From my perspective, this is a Microsoft Creators Update problem. Do other BC6 drivers - for example - the Apple Wireless Mouse Driver or Keyboard driver install correctly?

I think that this is the fault of the intel driver for the iris 5100, because the problem is only extinguished for such a configuration, as is the case in mac mini 2014.

Unfortunately, I have already restored the previous version of windows, enough to spend a lot of time trying to install Creator.

I have reported a problem and should be addressed to people from interested companies (apple, micosoft and intel). Me no one pays for my time and I will not work for someone.

Hm... how did you do the update? With the "normal" Windows Update Search, Windows 10 Update Tool or Windows Media Creation Tool?

I also have installed Intel driver 4703 and the update with the Media Creation Tool crashed...

First, you must have working anniversary update on mac mini and video driver for intel iris from latest bootcamp driver packages.

Second, run Windows 10 Update Tool and voila !

Third, update intel video driver to latest 15.40.36.4703 version.

That's all !!

Where can i get that driver? I have 20xxxx verison driver, I downloaded that 15xxxx version you mentioned, but when I install it, it automatically install version 20.19.15.4703, Instead of the one name to the title of the installer. Thanks

Can’t install fall creator update on mac mini 2014. I can’t install any creator update. Has anybody been successful in updating to either one of them without magic or taking down my video card or any unnatural process?

Remove all Intel GPU drivers from DrvStore using pnputil.exe and re-install only BC/Apple drivers.

When I run Windows 10 Update Tool with latest bootcamp drivers, it keeps aborting the updating process at 33%.

Have you done something special, such as disabling Driver Signature Enforcement, or enabling Test Signing Mode in order to avoid update aborting process?

No any trick is needed.

Doesn't work here. I can Only update to 1709, when the Microsoft-Default-Graphic-Driver is installed.

And by the way, can someone post the link to the Intel-Graphic-Driver who should work? Maybe there is a hidden, not easy to detect one....

Then PLEASE give us the downloadlink to the VGA-Driver! And i don't understand, why it work on your system and not on mine.... And when you updated with the apple-driver, why is a direct installation impossible.

Or there are more than one "late2014"-model and you had luck?

Did you use the MediaCreationTool or the Windows10Upgrade ?
