After installing windows in bootcamp, it pops up an error

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:...

...
File: \Windows\system32\drivers\AppleSSD.sys

Status: 0xc0000428

Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

Also, when I type "diskutil list", there is no name for windows. In Disk Utility, the disk is named "Untitled" for windows.

Please help, any help will be appreciated.

Looks like Apple just forgot to digitally sign this file. Here's this for your reference: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7171397?tstart=0

Here is the solution that worked perfectly for me:

"

  1. Using Boot Camp Assistant, prepare the USB flash drive. Select the first two items and prepare the disk. Quit Boot Camp Assistant.
  2. From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders from the FLASH DRIVE.
  3. Expand the old Boot Camp drivers (they are a zip file) on your desktop.
  4. Copy the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders to the FLASH DRIVE.
  5. Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and select only the third option, install Windows
  6. Sit back and relax as the installation proceeds.
"

You can find the old bootcamp drivers here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720?locale=en_US (make sure it's the right bootcamp for your mac model - the page has more info and the link to the other drivers if you need them instead)
