Bootcamp 5 For Mac

/ Comments off



Problem: the latest Windows 10 update 1903 runs into BSOD (Blue screen of death) with error message WDF_VIOLATION on some mac models (MacBook Pro 2010/2011, MacBook Air 2011, Mac Mini 2012, iMac 2010/2011 and some others). This fatal failure occurs when Windows is already loaded and system tries to start Apple Boot Camp Utility (BootCamp.exe). This tool is responsible for controlling screen brightness, volume, functional keys, backlit, etc with Apple keyboard. On some machines crash happens only if you try to start our Macs Fan Control app.

  1. Bootcamp 5 For Mac Os
  • Boot Camp has been allowing Mac users to run Windows natively on their Apple computers for several years. While virtualization apps like Parallels or Fusion allow for installing just about any.
  • Mac; Tools; Cleaning, optimization and operating systems; Boot Camp Mac Support Software 5.1.5640 If you're one of those people that use Windows on Mac with Boot Camp, you should download the latest update that includes all the drivers you need.

Parallels Desktop for Mac vs Boot Camp With Parallels Desktop for Mac, easily switch between the most popular OSes and never worry about rebooting. Optimized for the latest Windows 10 updates, macOS Catalina and ready for macOS Big Sur (11.0) Run thousands of Windows programs on your Mac; Moving from PC to Mac is easier than ever. New in Boot Camp 5.0.5033: Boot Camp 5 adds Windows 8 (64-bit) support. Use the Boot Camp Assistant and a USB drive to install the latest Boot Camp drivers for your computer.

Cause: older versions of the MacHALDriver.sys driver supplied with the Boot Camp Utility are not compatible with Windows 10 1903.

Solution: Basically you need to update to Boot Camp 6 or later.

First you need to disable the old driver to allow Windows to boot normally. The driver file located at c:windowssystem32MacHALDriver.sys must be renamed, e.g. to “MacHALDriver.sys.old”. There’re 2 options here:

  • (from Windows) Boot up in safe mode (holding the F8 key) and rename the file.
  • (from macOS) Install Tuxera NTFS or Paragon NTFS for Mac to allow write access to Windows drive/partition and rename the driver file. Both apps are commercial but have a trial period.

After that you can boot Windows 10, but Apple Boot Camp Utility won’t work. Macs Fan Control is able to work without the Boot Camp driver but slowly.

Install 7Zip and Brigadier. Run the latter to download and install the latest official Boot Camp from Apple for your machine. Sometimes it may still download a faulty old version (e.g. for mid-2010 iMac), in this case we recommend downloading Boot Camp for another model using the –model parameter:

and run the Boot Camp installer manually (run your command prompt as administrator):

Tip: to avoid this problem, we highly recommend updating your Boot Camp using the Brigadier app before updating Windows to 1903.
