Keymagic.sys Error Boot Camp Error

I installed Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro 13' Early 2015 and I get a KeyMagic.sys exception not handled BSOD whenever I try to run the BootCamp.exe to install the drivers.

Hi, This can be a hard drive, cabling/connection, or other hardware issue and you can't fix any of those with software. Note: I know you have tried some of these steps so it would best to repeat them though you can skip down to the part you have not tried.

Mar 13, 2020 The new silent mode is now closely integrated with the Network Monitor. It can be used as an alternative to regular connection alerts, which some users may find too intrusive, especially after a new installation of Little Snitch with too few filter rules, which makes connection alerts seem quite out of order. Boot Camp won't start in Windows 7 or Windows 8:So you setup OS X Boot Camp on your Mac and in Windows 7 or Windows 8 the boot camp control panel gives you t.

Here's some info on the device:

MacBook Pro 13' Early 2015

250GB SSD

Latest macOS Sierra Update (10.12.6)

To give a better idea of what I did, I'll list them step by step:

Installing Windows 10

1. I opened Boot Camp Assistant and it asked me for the partition I wanted and I set it accordingly

2. I waited for it to download the support software and after it was done, I was booted to the Windows 10 setup

3. I chose the partition made by Apple and ran the installation normally like you would in Windows

4. When I boot to the desktop for the first time, the BootCamp.exe showed up and I installed it

5. The BootCamp.exe installation ran about 1/4 I think and then I suddenly get a BSOD under the file KeyMagic.Sys saying something about an exception not handled

6. I tried running the setup.exe again just to see if it does and it did

Installing Windows 8.1 - I decided to install Windows 8.1 to see if this works because I just need a Windows machine

1. Same as steps 1-3 on Windows 10

2. This is were it got different, it booted me back to Mac which was weird as I was expecting it to happen like the Windows 10 one where it booted me to the latter after the Boot Camp Assistant finishes what it's doing

3. I turned the machine off and held alt to choose the boot device

4. To my surprise, only the mac was present and there was no sign of the Windows one

5. I went back to Boot Camp Assistant to return the partition so I can install Windows 7 but to my horror, the resulting re-partition corrupted my drive. So now not only do I not have Windows, but I was left with a corrupted drive as well

Formatting the Drive

1. So I decided to just backup on Time Machine

2. I formatted the drive

3. Reinstalled macOS Sierra

4. Recovered my backup

Installing Windows 7 - I tried installing Windows 7 as well hoping it would work

1. Exact same thing that happened to Windows 8.1 installation minus the corruption.

So now I'm at a lost, I've spent pretty much an entire day getting this to work and I'm exhausted.

So much for the tagline 'it just works'. Now it's more like, pray that it works or get dire consequences (like corrupting your entire drive). Oh and be prepared to use like 15-20 hours of your time trying to get through setup.

Apple releases major Mac operating system updates annually, while minor system updates happen every two or three months. A new Mac OS is designed to improve user experience. However, many mac users found that a macOS update made their Mac not boot up. It could be really annoying when you urgently run your Mac, be it an iMac or a MacBook. This post will provide you with three steps. When your Mac doesn’t boot up, let’s keep on reading.

Solutions to fix Mac not turning on after macOS update

Let’s go straight to the point; you are suggested to troubleshoot this issue by the following steps:

Check if the Mac hard drive is corrupted.
Check if any program is not compatible with your macOS
Check for a hardware incompatibility.

Now you can take a look at each of the steps.

Step 1: Boot into macOS Recovery mode to check the Mac hard drive

If your Mac has problems booting up after the macOS update, it’s possible your Mac computer ran out of power, and the APFS reformatting process was interrupted, or the startup disk was corrupted. To rescue it, you are advised to check and repair the disk with Apple’s built-in disk repair tool, Disk Utility, under macOS recovery mode. Grab your attention to see how it works.

Hold Command + R and start your Mac into macOS Recovery mode.
Select Disk Utility from the macOS ‘Utilities’ window and click Continue.
Click on View and choose Show All Devices to list all detected disks and volumes.
Select the drive or volume that you want to repair in the left sidebar; here, it should be Macintosh HD.
Click First Aid on the top menu of Disk Utility.
Click Run to check and repair errors in this drive. Wait for the process.

If Disk Utility reports operation successful or repaired, you’re free to restart your computer. Nevertheless, another situation is no disk error is found by Disk Utility. It turns out the hard drive is not responsible for Mac not booting up, then what is the reason behind Mac not turning on? You can find the answer under Safe mode.

Step 2: Boot your Mac into Safe Mode

Safe mode can determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads when your Mac starts up since it will only launch some basic necessary programs. That means it can isolate incompatibility software that makes your Mac unbootable. Really helpful, right? Here’s what you should do:

Press and hold the power button until the Mac forcibly shuts down.
Restart this Mac with the Shift key pressed and held to start the Mac up in Safe Mode.
Release the key when you see the progress bar.

Once you boot into Safe Mode successfully, you’ll see Safe Boot at the right top. And it indicates that the unbootable Mac is caused by third-party software incompatibility. You must be wondering who’s the culprit, don’t worry, Verbose mode can help you out.

You need to reboot the Mac, then hold Command + V at startup. What catches your eye is a live report, but it will stop at the misbehaving software that prevents the Mac from booting up. Now you have caught the culprit, and all you need to do is uninstalling it in Safe Mode.

Unfortunately, if you fail to boot into Safe Mode, it means it’s a macOS update failure. It would help if you reinstalled the macOS in Recovery mode, and reinstallation can place your data in danger. Therefore, before making any movement, you are strongly advised to restore your data with iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac from an unbootable Mac first.

Step 3: Go to the Apple store for help.

You are here because your hard drive is safe and sound, and there’s no software incompatibility found in Verbose Mode. What else can you do to get rid of the trouble? Check the hardware inside your Mac. Please don’t be nervous; you are not required to do it yourself. Apple has many bricks-and-mortar stores, and you can easily get help there.
