hey all!

so i was using sequioa setup (ofc the latest) and it was a LAGFEST, but 2 days ago, i installed windows 11 pro (using windiskwriter for mac) with drivers from bootcamp (which was about 2.2gb) and its much better!

you don't get the lagfest you get in sonoma/sequioa, and also you can stream up to 4k with no issues!

storage might be a issue for 128 gb laptops, so i have an external hhd for times.

better than macOS which would lag so much!

overall a nice setup seeing the laptop perform better in such times.

Here are some photos.
PS- trackpad gestures don't work out of the box, so you would need https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad/releases.

this will majorly fix all the trackpad issues!
Cheers

Got it

Upd:

Brightness OK

Sleep: ok, but training eDP missing

BREAKTHROUGH!

I fixed brightness control and sleep through an ACPI patch.

Now there’s only one thing left: extracting and verifying all the monitor parameters. Once everything is tested and confirmed, I’ll write up a proper guide with all the instructions.

It looks like Apple implemented the ACPI path specifically for the AMD GPU, while the Intel iGPU was basically left without it.

iGPU for everyone is getting closer! 😄

I really shouldn't have, but I installed linux mint and just used the partition tool to install alongside windows and now whenever I try and boot into windows, I just get a black screen

I am trying to install Boot Camp for the first time, but it shows me an error when I click Continue. It says, "Unable to read the Windows partition. Boot Camp Assistant was unable to verify if the Windows partition contains a Windows installation. This may be because BitLocker is enabled on the partition. If so, disable BitLocker on the Disk before removing Boot Camp." Please help!

If it helps, I shows this when I type "diskutil list" in Terminal:

I’ve finally brought the project to its first alpha release.

T2 TouchID for Windows is an experimental project that brings Touch ID support to Windows on Intel MacBooks with the Apple T2 chip.

🧪 Again: This is an experimental alpha release.
The current implementation has been tested on a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro with T2.

At this point, the project can communicate with the T2 Secure Enclave and Touch ID sensor and use fingerprint verification through the Windows biometric stack.

What currently works:

• 👆 Fingerprint verification on real hardware
• 🔓 SEP unlock on cold boot
• 🪟 Windows Hello integration
• 🔑 macOS user.kb import
• 🔒 Optional power-button lock workflow
• 🖥️ GUI for setup and configuration

There is still a lot to improve.

The drivers are unsigned, so Test Mode is required.

I’d really appreciate testing and feedback from anyone with an Intel MacBook with T2, especially different models and years.

I don’t know yet if it will work on other T2 Mac models, but it should.

Use it at your own risk. This is still an experimental project, and I can’t guarantee that it will work correctly or safely on every system.

我的Mac book pro2018切入Windows系统后就无法回到Macos了，一直黑屏重启，网络恢复也一直保持2103f，有线连接以太网也不行，我去了Apple授权店都无法操作进入dfu模式进行刷机，我该怎么操作使它进入dfu模式？

After weeks of trying I finally managed to get the Windows setup show up on the external screen and do the setup normally on my headless 13inch macbook pro 2016 😭😭😭

The bootcamp did not work for me as it fails to display anything after the windows logo on an external screen. So I had to make a custom modified windows iso with drivers and custom scripts to get the drivers working right away in the setup mode and after the install.

I went through over 20+ custom modified iso to finally get it working 😭

I used Ventoy vimboot to get it working, so it does not need the bootcamp assistance to get it ready.

I am planning on working on a ISO patcher to make it work for others aswell and wanted to know if anyone is interested in this fix / help with the testing for other Mac Models.

Here’s how to install Windows 11 on T2 Macs without bypassing the minimum requirements (in fact, make to meet them instead):

1. Install Windows 10 via Boot Camp Assistant as usual
2. Buy and Install FlexTPM here: https://flextpm.com/pricing/ - this is similar to TPM2.0 that you’d find in VMWare Fusion or Workstation
3. Now, you can upgrade to Windows 11 just like on any other PC via Windows Update

No registry workarounds required, and it’s a lot more safe, you can get like this feature updates without writing GPO policies for target releases yourself - instead, it’ll work as if you have a computer that meets those requirements.

what am i supposed to do here?
i made the installer using Bootcamp on sequoia (2014 mac mini), the drivers are on the usb drive and it boots from it fine, but it acts as if the usb drive is some mystery partition and it needs to format it (…even though it just booted from it perfectly fine???)
so far i’ve tried checking for the drivers, they were fine, i checked the format, it’s exfat, i even remade the entire windows installer.
nothing as worked, and google results are all useless (either doesn’t fix it or isn’t on a mac).

I installed windows 10 on my MacBook Pro early 2015 13" using bootcamp and now I can't get out of windows 10. Commands don't work, nothing works and it doesn't even turn on when I press the power button followed by command keys

Got it.

I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a MacBook Air 2020 (Intel, T2), and I'm stuck at the exact same point every time. Boot Camp Assistant itself runs fine: it partitions, copies the files and reboots into Windows Setup. I get through language, edition and partition selection without issues, but the moment Setup reaches "Copying Windows files (0%)", the Mac reboots instantly.

I've tried several different Windows 10 ISOs, done SMC and NVRAM resets, run First Aid from Recovery and removed and recreated the Boot Camp partition each time.

Any idea pls? Im going crazy

So bascially, Whenever I connect my Beats Studio Pro to My iMac (5K Retina, 27-inch, Late 2015), Intel Core i5 8 Cores 3.2 Ghz, AMD Radeon R9 M380 updated to the latest version it goes, 1TB of Fusion Drive Storage with MacOS 12.7.6 Monterey and Windows 10 22H2 being divided equally and finally 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, My headphones would just display the audio very lagging and corrupted and I just don't know what to do. I tried asking AI, searching online but nothing works. The audio when it isn't connected works fine it just when it is connected it acts up and I don't know what to do no more. I tried updating my bootcamp device drivers in device manager to their latest version that still didn't do the trick. So if anyone could help, It wouuld be greatly appreciate👍.

Has anyone been able to get Windows Phone Link working on Bootcamp with an iPhone?

I can successfully link my iPhone to Windows, but the calling audio doesn’t seem to transfer to Windows Bootcamp and goes back to the iPhone.

I wanted to install Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro 15 2019 via Bootcamp, using the Windows 10 version from the Microsoft website. The Mac rebooted, and an error appeared. I updated the Mac OS, tried different versions of Windows, tried installing from a USB drive — no result. Please advise what I should do.

Si tienes una Mac que ya no puede actualizarse a macOS 12 o posterior, puede ocurrir que la ultima versión de Microsoft Office compatible con tu mac deje de activarse correctamente.

En mi caso tenía Office 365 versión 16.66 instalado en una Mac con macOS Catalina. De repente Office dejó de permitir la activación.

Como la Mac ya no podía actualizarse a una versión de macOS compatible con las versiones más recientes de Office, probé una solución sencilla:

Instalar una versión anterior de Office.

En mi caso desinstalé la versión 16.66 e instalé Office versión 16.42.

Después de instalar la versión anterior, Office volvió a permitir la activación con la cuenta de Microsoft 365.

Por lo tanto, si tienes una Mac antigua que ya no puede actualizar macOS, y una versión reciente de Office dejó de activarse, recomiendo probar una versión anterior de Office compatible con tu sistema.

Importante: esto no significa que la versión 16.42 sea una solución oficial permanente para todos los casos. Microsoft actualmente recomienda mantener Office actualizado y sus requisitos de activación pueden cambiar.

En mi caso concreto:

macOS Catalina → Office 16.66 → dejó de activar → Office 16.42 → activación funcionando.

HI, Trying to trade in old 2019 imac. Is partitioned with bootcamp. Looking to uninstall bootcamp and restore to factory settings. Computer will not let me boot into Mac, only shows Windows after pressing Option (⌥) to get to Startup Manager. Disk Utility is showing Mac HD, with Bootcamp greyed out beneath it. Bootcamp is unmounted but disc utility wont let me mount the volume. Partition still showing split between Bootcamp and Macintosh HD.

Attempt to reboot into Mac from Windows Bootcamp menu only reboots it back into Windows. Boot Camp Control panel does not open.

Unsure how to proceed. Any help appreciated. Thanks so much!

hello, i have a macbook pro 2019 16" and i do gaming on it, and it overheats so bad which make my performance worst. i tried EVERY possible way to fix this: i play on bootcamp with a customized amd software(adrenaline version), i use throttle stop, i installed the mod with the thermal paste inside the macbook pro, i use of course mac fan control i tried many cooling pads, even the KLIM Turbofrost max which is one of the strongest over there but it didnt cool even few degrees, and i even bought just a normal stand for computers, like the one that folds so that the mac sits in the air, but none of this solution except throttlestop works because the mac still reaches around 65 degrees while gaming (or even more). if somebody know a better solution, a perfect cooling pad for macbook pro that works with this mod that i installed, or something PLEASE let me know! im desperate! thanks
