Hi I updated to Windows 10 build 10240 from 10130 and my Apple trackpad stopped working (installed on Bootcamp partition of Mac). Device manager shows that trackpad hardware could not be started or the driver could not be updated as registry values do not match.
An ExtraMagic is the long-awaited solution which serves as Control Panel for both Magic Trackpads, puts the drivers to PC or Boot Camp, and, most importantly, enables 3-finger / 4-finger gestures in Windows 8 / 10, as following: * 3-finger dragging, 3-finger tap, 3-finger horizontal and vertical swipes. * 4-finger tap, 4-finger horizontal and vertical swipes. Jul 17, 2012 - Apple's Magic Trackpad appears to be a much more ergonomic way of. This will install the Apple Wireless Trackpad driver on your Windows.
I have deleted the 2 files in H KEYCURRENTUSER Software Apple Inc. Trying to reinstall the drivers after this but still not able to. Can someone suggest if I need to delete any other registry files or do something totally different? Thanks Anirban. Okay, fixed it. (on my HW/SW combination anyways) Glad I tried this before messing around with services as well.
Here's what fixed it for me. Extract the Bootcamp drivers for the 64bit trackpad from the AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller64.exe file. I used WinRAR for this. So your path looks something like this -. BootCamp5.1.5621 BootCamp Drivers Apple AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller64 I then r-clicked on the AppleMTP64.inf and chose install. It looked like it hung up the system and was waiting to properly crash out on me, so I took a shower and it worked when I came back. So I've no clue as to how long it actually took.
I hope this works for you, and others, as well. Simple fix within normal usage more or less for this one. Thank You for reading, -I EDIT PS. I didn't delete any registry values or things like that yet, no hacking prior to trying this. Just gathering info from logs and whatnot. Running the whole.EXE file, or.shudder. one of the setups that tries to install everything Apple did not work for me with various errors and problems, running just that.INF file is the only thing that did.
Having the exact same problem after latest build. Should have some time today to properly play with this issue. Ofcourse my particular setup is in no way supported by Apple so we'll see how far we get. When I tried to install the drivers that are supported by Apple for my machine (mid-2009 MBP), Win 10 just crashed, hard. The Bootcamp 5 drivers just lead to the error you described above.
Going to try and play with the underlying services here in a bit, see if removing those and reinstalling them works a bit better. This all once I find out which services I need to play with. Hmm, and just realized that I should really create a filter for the event log which catches all Apple/Bootcamp related misery. I shall google to see if someone has done that already.

I used Windows 7 x64 on my Macbook Air with specific drivers from Apple trough Bootcamp at 100% satisfaction. I now upgraded to Windows 8 PRO where everything works perfectly except the Trackpad! I tried every kind of workaround I could imagine to install the Bootcamp (v.3.3 to 4.0) Trackpad drivers (even in compatibility (7) mode) with no success! Beyond the frustration, I imagine that this is a 'we do not want you to install those drivers' situation since this is a 'tablet' style OS and probably, the gestures etc. Provided by the Apple Bootcamp driver might not match the MS expectation/model. I don't know/believe that Apple will be nice enough to write a specific driver to please MS & Windows 8 users and wondering if MS will support that hardware at a point to develop a driver. What can be expected?
What do you think? Or have you a solution? PS: Now using an external Bluetooth 'notebook mouse 5000' (from MS. Of course).But then, it's not so 'Airy' anymore. Trying to get my Apple Macbook Multitouch Trackpad drivers to install on my 64 bit Windows 8 RTM finally worked! This is my story: I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8, keeping all my applications and files.
Because of this, Boot Camp 3.2 is still installed but my trackpad was not working. I tried to install the drivers manually using device manager from the Boot Camp 4 installation files, but the installation failed. I tried hacking the BootCamp64.msi file using Orca to remove the LaunchCondition table, but it would still detect the system wasn't Windows 7 and fail to install. I tried compatibility mode on the boot camp setup.exe file, but it kept saying 'boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model', I am using an older unibody Macbook late-2008 that Apple does not officially support running 64 bit windows, even though it works just fine. So I went back to installing the trackpad drivers manually through device manager. At this point there were no device manager entries for the Apple Trackpad or Multitouch Trackpad, instead I saw these two generic entries for usb input device. I figured out these two entries were the trackpad installed with generic microsoft drivers and I tried to update them to the apple drivers.
When I tried to update these generic device drivers to the apple drivers, I received the message 'system cannot find the path specified'. So I checked out the SetupAPI log file in windows and discovered it was trying to find driver files in these two folders which did not exist: C: Windows System32 DriverStore FileRepository applemtm64.infamd64e9ad032101401c02 and C: Windows System32 DriverStore FileRepository applemtp64.infamd64e5b8a0.
So I created those two folders and copied all of the.mtp64 and.mtm64 files from boot camp 4 installation files to those respective folders, and also had to copy the WdfCoInstaller01005.dll file into both folders. After doing that I was able to go back to the device manager and install the apple trackpad drivers without any problems, and now my right click and two finger scrolling work great!
Thanks for the suggestion Arthur. I indeed thought about that but wondered what kind of welcome it might encounter at Apple. Probably the same as here. If I got it right, Windows 7 drivers should be compatible with Windows 8. So if I want to use those drivers that worked fine in Windows 7, I would be very interested to know why Windows 8 (MS) would not let me (us) install them and use the trackpad as before. I want to point out that the drivers ARE FOUND when letting 'device manager' search for them (which means that they match the device ID) but the installation fails with the kind of 'something went wrong'. Not sure this is a Apple problem.
These drivers are OK. Now Apple might or not write new drivers for W8 specific new features but that is not what I want at first.

Hi ' Thank you for your answer. YOU are an MVP! I reproduced your troubleshooting logic and this was the path to go. One small update to yours: When in Device Manager and clicking on 'scan for hardware changes', it finds the 2 devices and what was new is that it moved them into the 'Human Interface Devices' section (what is new to the former behavior). Then I had to click on 'update drivers' in the 2 devices and select 'browse for software on my computer'.
Then select 'Let me pick from a list.' And choose 'USB Input Device' instead of the correct device name and version. I think this depends of the starting point and state of the troubleshooting process. This made the Trackpad work but no gesture or right click.
Going back to the 2 devices and clicking on update drivers by selecting the folder where the original Apple drivers were expanded made it install finally the Apple drivers. Now it works like a charm.(again). Windows 8 PRO native on MacBook Air, fully operational. THANK YOU AGAIN. This was also a nice lesson of device installation troubleshooting in windows 7/8.
This fix worked for me: Right Click Update Driver Software Browse my computer for driver software Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer I then selected USB Input Device. (It was the only other device in the compatible hardware list). Doing this for each one restored basic mouse functionality. No multi touch at this stage, no right mouse click. After that I did the following: Right Click Update Driver Software Browse my computer for driver software Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer I then selected the relevant Apple Multitouch driver. (This again was the only other device in the compatible hardware list).
And it works. You might need to go into the Boot Camp Control Panel and tick boxes in the Trackpad tab to get things back how you wanted it.
