Boot Camp stuck on Partitioning - iMac 2017

Hello there everyone,

To begin, my Mac is 27' iMac 2017 with Intel Core i5 3,4 GHz, 1 TB Fusion Drive, 8 GB ram and Radon Pro 570 4 GB VRAM, running on Mojave 10.14.5, Mac was bought two weeks ago.


I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp Assistant and the installation is always stuck on Partitioning the disk drive (the progress bar stays at half), no matter how much time I let it work. The ISO of Windows is the October 2018 from the Microsoft site. Every time the installation is stuck I need to quit Boot Camp and use Disk Utility to delete the partitions and merge them and then I can try again and it's stuck again at the Partitioning.


Do you know what could be the cause of the problem?

I would appreciate every help I would get.

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.14

I believe my problem is the same. My post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250380776


Outputting diskutil list won't help, I have tried every way to use a fusion drive, works if you separate them and format as HFS+, unfortunately Mojave doesn't allow HFS+ inside a fusion setup, it converts to APFS, which windows installer doesn't seem to like.
