Bootcamp on MacBook Pro 2018

I'm trying to run Windows 10 Education edition on my MBP (2018, 15-inch) which operates Mojave (10.14.1).

After several attempts, I finally could install and run Windows 10 which is April release, build 1803 (I guess...)

But some drivers don't work correctly, especially Bluetooth and TouchBar. Although I tried to install the BootCamp software repeatedly, SMC reset, NVRAM reset, don't work at all.

Is there anybody who could run Windows system on your 2018 MBP perfectly?

I really want to know how-to!

Thank you,

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14.1), 2018

The Bootcamp BT and TB drivers should operate properly. Did you install Windows Standard drivers instead of BC-provide drivers?

thanks Kappy,

I should have known the AFPS affects the bootcamp system ...

I've seen some people tried to install Windows on an external disk and boot up from that, but it's now insecure to do that because of secure boot system or something. Hope there is a good solution ...

Hi Loner, how can I install standard drivers? Should I uninstall all BC software on Windows or just reinstall standard drivers?

I don't think APFS and Windows see eye to eye. You might try reformatting the SSD using HFS+ instead, create a new Boot Camp partition, reinstall Windows, etc.

2018 Macs (because of Apple T2) have issues. If you run BC Assistant -> Action -> Download and get drivers for your specific model and install them, do you see any change in behavior?
