Bootcamp icon missing

I have recently used the bootcamp assistant to install windows 10 on my MacBook Pro, however the bootcamp icon that is supposed to let me switch back to OS is nowhere to be found. I have no regard for any content on this windows 10 attachment, and my MacBook is fairly new so I would not mind completely restarting it if that is necessary.

Bootcamp partition can't be detected after reinstalled MacOS I reinstalled Mac OS about a month ago, and I found that there is no bootcamp in system preferences->startup disk. Boot camp assistant also does not recognize the partition and gave me an error "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". So I'm not able to remove the bootcamp partition either. How can I fix it?

For USBc Macs, you would need a USBc-to-USB Adapter (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1M2AM/A/usb-c-to-usb) or a USBc hub.
