I was surprised today after upgrading to Mojave that I couldn't use the boot-camp assistant under windows to boot back to MacOS, then I found this:
Anyone know if this is permanent? Will the rebooting directly from Windows to MacOS return?
Thanks.

This link - when are boot camp drivers going to be up… - Apple Community - replaces AppleControlPanel.exe with a newer version by extracting it from the BC drivers package meant for newer Macs.
This link - Mojave Doubt - Bootcamp - Restart in Maco… - Apple Community - produces a 'bridge' partition, which allows the switching.
What should have been done (by Apple), is that the Macs which support Mojave ( https://support.apple.com/kb/SP777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US ) should also have been provided, via Apple Software Update (included in Windows), a new copy of AppleControlPanel.exe, if Bootcamp was also installed on the same Mac. This detection is also possible when Bootcamp tries to switch the first time to a macOS version which uses APFS.

Apologies, I linked the wrong article, meant to link:

Thanks for those links, very useful. So I need to either do some terminal hacking or get some third party software.
Agree! Will try the control panel swap option. Thanks.

What’s that? Service request?

That is the 'new'-fangled Apple way of reporting bugs, called Feedback Assistant.

Your link is referring to Time Machine backups and restore and is unrelated to OS-switching. The method is documented in Switch between Windows and macOS with Boot Camp - Apple Support.

On 2017 and newer Macs, AppleControlPanel.exe understands APFS in Mojave and how to switch. You have two work-arounds as shown in the following links.
Also, see Start up your Mac in Windows or macOS using Boot Camp - Apple Support as an additional reference.
Bootcamp Changes in switching
