Unable to install Windows 10

I am using latest macOS Mojave 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro bought in early 2019.

When I try to install windows 10 (international x64 download from Microsoft website). First few steps was ok, partition disk for Windows, then download windows support software, then restart, then windows starting installing. But it did not prompt to ask me to choose which disk to install, instead it’s starting to install directly. After installing progress bar showing complete, the screen goes black. Only the cursor is showing if I move my mouse. But I never get chance to successfully install windows 10. Can any one help? Thanks!

W10 1903 has issues with MacHALDriver.sys. Can you remove the current partition (using BC Assistant only) and run SMC and NVRAM reset and retry with W10 1809? Do not connect any external peripherals, except Power.

How long are you waiting after you get the black screen with the cursor. Sometimes it takes a wile, especially on the first boot when Windows is doing some configuring before finally showing the login screen.

Thanks for your reply. I tried as you advised, but same thing happens again. I want to reinstall my mac as a fresh copy, then install windows 10, and then reinstall Mac from backup to get old files back. I will come back again if I get any results
