Bootcamp won't reboot into Windows 10

When using the Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows 10, it all goes alright until the part where it's finished. Where it says the following

After which the program just quits and nothing really happens. Even when I tried manually restarting no BOOTCAMP partition was made, and I can't make any manual FAT/NSF partitions. Tried manually installing in bot EFI boot mode and standard USB method.

A 2014 Mac supports both legacy BIOS and newer EFI boot. The default partitioning on the 2014 model is legacy BIOS, and if you manually try to install using EFI, you will get GPT vs MBR errors.

In your main BCA screen, how many options are available?

See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-11082 for reference.

You have APFS corruption.

Start up your Mac in single-user mode or verbose mode - Apple Support and run

fsck_apfs -s -o -y /dev/rdisk1

If you get any errors, see the footnote under step 6, which requires using Command+S to get into Single User Mode on some Mac models.

You will need to post a photograph of the output.

Your Mac does not support the 'new' way of Single User Mode. Please reboot and hold Command+S, as documented.

These steps replace the Command-S method, which doesn't work with the recommended settings on current Mac computers.

I do not know why Apple chose to change the steps and confuse the user. 👹

The ISO is W10_1803_English_x64 so I am already using the April Update, as for the output
