Bootcamp - Stuck on Windows Logo

I have been using Bootcamp flawlessly for a while now but I tried to open my "PC" a couple days ago and I'm getting stuck at the Windows logo during boot-up. How can fix this? Thanks.

In about-storage it shows the bootcamp partition still, but that it is not an available start up option when holding the option key and starting the computer. I did the step you described above and did not click continue, I installed windows to a usb then used the action key and installed the support on to that key, after it went through the process, it then said the partition has been removed from the ADLP or something like that, is it possible to add the partition back into the boot options?


Thanks!

The default interactive shell is now zsh.

To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

After following the above steps, the bootcamp assistant said that it removed the partition and when I go to the loader I can select the USB to boot from but it no longer finds the windows installation.

If you accidentally click on Continue, instead of the Action menu option, it will cause issues. Action is located as shown.



What to do from here? Why would it have removed the partition?

At this point, you will need to re-install Windows. 😢
