Could not locate OS X Boot Volume

I’ve been stuck on Windows boot camp. Yes I have tried doing the Boot camp control panel and it only shows Boot camp, no OS X. I have selected restart in OS X and it says it can’t find the boot volume.

Also, I have tried restarting and holding down the option key several times and it just boost windows. I’m using a bluetooth Keyboard.

i have also tried resetting the NVRAM. So please don’t come responding with the Option key solution because I have tried it several times already.

Mac mini 2018 or later

Can you run a SMC and NVRAM Reset and retry the Option Key method? There is a timing issue with the BT driver being loaded and the Option Key, which seems to be the underlying issue. The USB Keyboard avoids the BT driver timing issue.
