Macbook pro 2017 bootcamp windows 10 freezes when connecting Apple USB C AV digital adapter

I tested this on mine and it is not happening - I boot up with things already connected and do not get a freeze. I haven't gotten one since the reset. I booted up with my VGA dongle, Ethernet dongle and a USB stick connected. The Ethernet dongle very reliably caused the freezes before. It has not frozen. Not sure why the fix on mine hasn't fixed it completely on yours.

Good to see the USBc AV adapter in Devices. Expand the Display entry an right-click on the GPU. Select Properties Tab and look at the Drivers tab under Properties.

You can see the Intel HD 4000 under the Display tab.

If you have access to the AMD Control panel, we should check individual parts of the drivers.

If you have an external mouse/keypad, connect it to the Mac, and close the MBP lid. Do you get a proper display on the external monitor?

Reference Use your Mac notebook computer in closed-display mode with an external display - Apple Support .

Well, i have a similar issue. In MacOs everything works fine. (2017 Macbook Pro)

When i boot up windows and have my usb dongle in, it freezes. I had it even before i had an external monitor but now i have the same problem as described here.

Basicly USB-C dongle hub, needs to be in. Then after loading for some time i have to unplug it. Wait plug again and hope for the best. Often i need 4-5 reboots before its usable.

Do you have another HDMI monitor or a TV with HDMI input that can be used as a test device?

On a 2016 tbMBP, with the AV adapter and Dell U2715 and a Panasonic HDMI connection, W10 works without any issues. Is the W10 a new installation? Which W10 version have you installed?

Can you check the version of GPU driver on you Mac?

It was suggested on the Windows forum that a new "APFS" file system in Mac OS High Sierra may have caused the issues.

I started having this problem too just yesterday. I did upgrade to High Sierra last week but didn't have the problem immediately after the update for some reason. I have a macbook pro 2016 with touchbar.

I cannot use ANY USB devices in Windows, they cause a freeze, usually within 30-60 seconds of connecting the dongle. Any USB dongle (video or ethernet) or even USB flash drive (data stick). Exact same issue - CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT blue screen of death, unless I unplug the device quickly enough after the mouse pointer freezes, then it unfreezes several seconds later instead of blue screening. If I don't unplug the device it consistently blue screens CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.

Everything in MacOS works perfectly. All symptoms identical to the O.P.

It is a very serious issue that I cannot use any USB devices in Windows - help!

Please note that I tried reverting to old system restore on Windows, from last week before I started having this problem. No change. The O.P. tried reinstalling and it did not help.

The cause must be something on the Mac side, one of the Sierra or High Sierra updates.

I don't think this was caused by a Windows update - as I said I reverted back to the 14th.

I do see Sunday the 19th in MacOS it shows it installed MRTConfigData and XProtectPlistConfigData, I upgraded to High Sierra on the 17th. However the next day, the 20th, I used a dongle in Windows and it worked. The 20th was the last day that I tried using a dongle and it worked, after that I rebooted to MacOS for the next few days. Didn't try on the 21st, on the 22nd I rebooted into Windows to give a presentation and found that any dongle caused a freeze or blue screen.

I tried reverting back to a system restore from the 14th in Windows but it made no difference.

The Windows 10 forced updates model is not generally a problem on actual regular Windows systems, but more risky on a Mac, less people testing boot camp I guess.
