Windows 10: Windows boot camp external drive problems

I have windows 10 installed on my mac with bootcamp. My external drive is formatted as exfat (so should work on both and it used to as well until recently). It runs fine on the macOS (high sierra), but windows says it is a usb 2.0 device. I’ve tried it in all the usb slots the mac has and it will not run in any of them on windows, but on the macOS its fine in all of them. I’ve run tests on the drive in the macOS and its functioning fine, theres nothing wrong with it. Since it runs on the mac and its using the same hardware as with windows, i think its a windows problem, but i don’t know how to resolve it. This issue started after i used bootcamp to resize the partition and on the new install of windows it doesn’t find the drive. It has all my document backups on it that i now can’t access on windows to be able to restore them...


Does anyone have a solution for getting this drive to work on windows as well as mac?

Bluetooth is not working with Boot Camp after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi,

To enable your Bluetooth, run the Boot Camp Assistant from the Utilities folder on your Mac and install the support software, which includes the latest drivers you need for Bluetooth.

• 
  Check for software updates to make sure OS X, your Mac firmware, and Boot Camp Assistant are
  up to date.
  
• 
  Run Boot Camp Assistant and install the support software, which includes the latest Boot Camp drivers you need for Bluetooth.
  You can find step-by-step directions at Apple’s Support Site here.
  

After reinstalling the drivers, all paired devices from Windows 8.1 should still be paired and usable.

 

To Boot Camp or not to Boot Camp?

From everything I've read, boot camp is faster than Parallels. When you're running Parallels you're still running OSX, so you're using resources for two OSes. Boot Camp is solely Windows, so it's less resources.

Parallels would be if you need one office program or something, where Boot Camp would be if you wanted to game, use resource intensive programs, or use a LOT of Windows stuff where you wouldn't need OSX at all.
