Hi

Can you tell me what kind of model did you choose for this computer?

https://support.apple.com/kb/sp586?locale=en_US

Windows 1903

First of all, I tried the part of this guide to solve some issues with missing drivers:

"m) Delete all contents of C:\Insttemp WX n) Download BootCamp 4.0.4033.zip <=== please choose the most recent version for your system ===> o) Copy the downloaded file to C:\Insttemp WX p) Extract the downloaded file to C:\Insttemp WX ( so that you can see a C:\Insttemp WX\Bootcamp folder after extraction ) q) In device manager, navigate to "Other devices - Coprocessor" and select it r) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> C:\Insttemp WX\BootCamp\Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64\SMU and click next. Wait until the update is finished. s) In device manager, navigate to "Other devices - SM Bus Controller" and select it t) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> C:\Insttemp WX\BootCamp\Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64\SMBUS and click next. Wait until the update is finished. u) Reboot your Mac"

I tried different Nvidia drivers (Bootcamp, Nvidia website), and I always see a black screen after rebooting my computer.

Additionally, I tried this method, but it doesn't work because probably PCI registers were set incorrectly by me using values from the post below:

"mm 05000004 1 ;PCI :7 mm 0017003E 1 ;PCI :8"
