Windows partition on MacBook Pro won't open

When I restart and try to switch to the Windows partition it just automatically restarts again and switches back to Mac with an error message. Any fix advice?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

MacBook won’t start with Mac OS: Mac partition disappeared Hi I have a MacBook Pro and tonight I was updating my OS High Sierra. While updating. There was black screen saying updates needs “about 30 mins”. It remained stuck there with no progress for a long time. I turned it off and back on and now it only logs into Windows which I had installed using bootcamp. My Mac OS partition does not show. When I press the “option” button to it only shows the windows hard drive. When I tried try to restart from Bootcamp to restart OS X, it restarts but sends back to Windows. I now don’t know if my Mac OS is updating or if it’s gone and what to do next. When I press Command + L while in Windows it does nothing. If I try as soon as I restart the computer and before Windows loads, it also does nothing. Highly appreciate your support.

Macbook Pro revival Hey, guys. How are you? So, I did something wrong and I can't seem to fix it. I deleted my partition on my macbook pro running MacOs Big Sur, and then I restarted my computer hoping to erase everything and start new. When I try to boot it using command + R it shows the globe, then after a while trying to restore, it shows an exclamation point. It tried creating a bootable disk on my work windows PC using TransMac, but when I use Option while booting the mac, it only shows a Windows partition and it does not recognize any USB drive (I tried two different ones). If I try to boot with Windows, it shows a blue screen with the 0xc0000225 code. Can you guys help me?

Try System Preferences -> Startup Disks -> select Bootcamp and test.

See Start up your Mac in Windows or macOS with Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.
