USB-C / BootCamp Windows 10 Issue

Hey there,

For the past fourteen months or so, I've been running Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro (2017) using a small 'case' to Thunderbolt 3 adapter - Apologies, I don't know the terminology or what it is called, but if needs be, I can upload a picture.

If you can post the brand/model of the TB3 that should help.

Anywho, once plugged in, I can normally go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select the disk titled "'Windows' BootCamp," which then, in turn, restarts my Mac on the Windows 10 operating system. However, last night, when I attempted to do the usual process, the disk/file wouldn't show up and once I plugged in the 'case,' the screen froze and the cursor became the rainbow wheel. I've tried the usual: Restart (with/without plugging the 'case' in); updating the software; etc., but to no avail.

The Restart attempt to Windows did not fully complete.

• Are macOS set to Automatic?
• Does macOS boot properly?
• Leave the 'case' aside, till we can address the Windows issue.
• Are Windows Automatic Updates enabled?

Please help me out here, as I need to get Windows 10 up and running as soon as possible, and I'd prefer not to have to download Virtual Machines, etc.

If you are able to boot into macOS normally, run Terminal, and post the output of

diskutil list

Based on this, what you have is SP256GBSS3A55S25 SSD. Since it shows up correctly on the macOS side, the drive seems to be fine. Does the Bootcamp disk show up in macOS Finder?
