Windows 10: Bootcamp Windows 10 Thunderbolt not reconized

I just rebooted my MacBook pro retina and reinstalled windows 10 via bootcamp. I have an external ssd and I usually rely on thunderbolt. It also have usb 3. Problem is, thunderbolt is not being recognized in windows 10. It works with the os x partition. So I am trying to find the correct driver to get it working. I formatted the drive to exFat to work with both os x and windows 10. I want to transfer files back and forth like music, photos and apps. Anyways, my main problem is trying to get the thunderbolt drive to work. My external drive lights up but nothing picks up on windows. Any help I can get? Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Update 1709 Blue Screens with Thunderbolt SSDs.

Hello. I am currently running Windows 10 version 1703 on an 2013 Apple 27" iMac via Bootcamp. I have an external Thunderbolt SSD connected. This works very well. However, Windows keeps trying to update to version 1709. When this happens, the computer
blue screens with a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I have isolated this issue to the external Thunderbolt device. If I unplug the Thunderbolt, the update completes successfully. But when I plug the Thunderbolt devices back in, Windows will no longer boot, again
blue screening with the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION.

I have to disconnect the Thunderbolt drive to get Windows to boot, then roll back the install to 1703 for the computer to be usable again with the Thunderbolt device.

Any suggestions?

 

Thunderbolt 2 bootcamp windows 10

Hello.

I've been trying to solve this problem for over a year, checking the internet every so often to see if there is a solution. But nothing as yet, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone can help.

I've got a MacBook pro retina display. intel pro 1500 iris graphics card. I'm running bootcamp windows 10. its got two thunderbolt ports and I'm trying to connect to an I-mac to make use of the massive screen. I think the iMac is mid 2014. But its not happening
at all. I've read everything there is to read on the net on this subject and have tried everything I can.

The thunderbolt connection works perfectly on the osx side and I know its not hot pluggable. This doesn't make a difference anyway. I've updated all the drivers for everything, I've reinstalled boot camp. I've even put windows on the iMac, nothing. Also,
I've had it hooked up via the HDMI port to a monitor and that works fine. The iMac has exactly the same problem coming the other way to the MacBook.

I have limited knowledge of computers but the thunderbolt doesn't seem to be recognized by the device manager. its like they don't exist.

hopefully someone has an idea.

thanks for reading.

 

A fast Bing search showed this on first page: Download Thunderbolt: Intel Thunderbolt driver (Windows 8 driver should also work in Windows 10, although I'm not sure if this driver works on your Mac).

It also seems important to disable Windows Fast Boot: Boot Camp: Thunderbolt devices not recognized after Windows 8 upgrade - Apple Support

 

I get an error

source file not found "C:|users.....Temp1_TBT_Win7_32_64_Win8.1_64_2.0.4.250 (1).zip\Winx64|tbtsvc.exe"

 

I tested the driver download, extracted the compressed zip without issues:





Launched the installer, no issues:

 

Ok, so installation went successfully. I forgot to unzip. I'm such a scrub. lol
Anyways, but my device is still not being picked up on windows...I tried connection with usb 3 and it got picked up in connection. But not thunderbolt...its strange because it works with my mac os x partition...hmmm

*UPDATE*
Strange. It got picked up after restarting the computer only while it is plugged in. No notifications or anything. I guess this will do then. If I were to plug it back in, nothing. Oh well. Thanks though. ^_^

 

Having the same problem, so thanks for the idea to plug in the drive before booting.
I dug a little deeper and I think that Win in bootcamp sees thunderbolt as PCIe, so a thunderbolt drive would not work like an external drive; it would work like a internal drive on a secondary bus.
So the behavior of not seeing the drive if its not attached upon boot makes sense.
Not very convenient, but it makes sense.
