I very much need some help. I’m running a Late 2015 iMac with macOS High Sierra. I’m also running Windows 10 on the Bootcamp partition via Parallels Desktop.



Thursday night I followed my normal routine of starting up the Mac. Then clicking on my Parallels icon to load Windows. I received an error message telling me that Windows had encountered a problem and needed to restart. The “stop code” was DRIVER UNLOADED WITHOUT CANCELLING PENDING OPERATIONS. It claims that what failed was mrxsmb.sys



Before I go any farther let me point out that I have not added or installed any new programs or accessories recently. In fact, I can’t remember the last time that I added or installed anything new.



Since the apple side of things run fine AND since if I boot directly into Windows I encounter the same problem I’m assuming that Apple has nothing to do with the problem.



I can boot into safe mode. I’ve tried to restore to a restore point. All of them fail. I’ve tried most of things in the Windows troubleshooting section. I’ve ran a virus scan that came up claim. I ran Malwarebytes and it came up clean.



I’d REALLY love to get this fixed without doing a clean install because I don’t want to have to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything, but it is what it is I suppose.



Can any of you offer any advice?



By the way, if I’m slow in responding or respond with something that looks like gobbledegook please forgive me. I sliced my main “hunt and peck” finger yesterday so my typing is worse than usual.



Thanks.
 
Hi, have you resolved your issue? I am facing something else, I have same iMac late 2015 and after installing the latest Apple Boot Camp drivers update for Windows I'm no longer able to get the machine to boot. I'm using boot camp.
