Touch bar and boot camp

[Abaganov]

Any new owners of the Macbook Pro with TB had already installed windows via bootcamp and can report how the TB operate?

I can confirm that the touchbar displays screen brightness, keyboard brightness and volume controls. If you press the FN key the standard function keys display on the bar.
[doublepost=1479299308][/doublepost]However, I have a different problem in boot camp. For whatever reason my screen flickers on and off, constantly. To the point that Windows is unusable. If I move my mouse continuously the screen stays on. Tried running Windows updates...no luck. I'll try deleting the bootcamp partition and re-installing with the Windows 10 Anniversary edition to see if by some chance that fixes things. Not good though...very disappointing. I didn't have this issue with my non TB 2016 rMBP.

If you have one of the AMD GPU's...Are you using the drivers that come with the BootCamp install or the latest from the AMD site?

It's the Intel Iris 550.
