Boot camp code 0xc0000098 - help!

I'm trying to intall Windows 10 (april and october update versions tried) on a late 2013 iMac. I can download the file (only on ExFat format) to my USB and partition my disk for Windows successfully, but when the computer reboots to Windows I get a blue screen saying "error code 0xc0000098" and that my PC needs to be repaired.

I've tried both 64 bit versions of Win10. I've tried reformatting my USB to MSDOTFAT but the I keep getting halfway through the boot camp download and it says my USB doesn't have enough space (but it's empty and has over 30gb).

Any suggestions? Should I try a new USB? I've got a TB of space and my Mac is up to date with the newest version of Mojave.

Thank you.

iMac 21.5", 10.14

You should have three checkboxes in the BC Assistant UI.

Create+Download uses a Windows ISO and a USB2 Flash drive of 8+GB to create a USB Installer. The ISO should be unmounted and in any folder except Downloads.
Install partitions the disk and uses the USB2 Installer to install Windows.

The error code indicates BCD corruption.

Use W10 1803 (April) ISO.

You may want to consider using using an older W10 release. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-10-version-1709. You can get older ISOs from http://windowsiso.net .

I already downloaded the April version of ISO and placed on desktop in lieu of downloads. So you're saying that before I run BC with my USB plugged in I should go to DU and unmount the ISO? Is that right?

I was able to partition the disk and unmount the ISO - the computer restarted and looked to be booting in Windows and then I got the blue screen "you PC ran into a problem" screen. I restarted again holding the ALT key and selected the Windows drive again and the same problem happened.

Any ideas?

Do you have a dual-GPU iMac, or a single GPU version?

See Identify your iMac - Apple Support for reference.
