Windows 10 BSOD acpi_bios_error

Last night, I left my MacBook Pro (13-inch 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) running my Windows 10 OS in its partition. This morning when I woke it, it was on the Mac OS login screen. I restarted it, pressed Option, selected Windows to boot, then received the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. The error code: ACPI_Bios_Error. I uninstalled the entire OS, wiped and removed the partition, but still receive the same message when trying to reinstall Windows 10. Does anyone know of a work around?

Newest macOS (Catalina).

I was able to resolve the issue.

removed partition
did a VRAM reset (option + command + p + r)
downloaded a new Windows 10 ISO
installed via bootcamp

installed and seems to work fine now.

If you have Windows Automatic enabled, a required reboot can cause problems, depending the default OS set, which seems to have been macOS.

What is the current macOS version?

Does macOS boot properly?

Is macOS set up to update automatically?

I do, or did. I had the issue resurface, but after letting it sit for maybe a day, it booted right back up to Windows like nothing happened. I also noticed that I had a Bootcamp update.

That being said, I no longer update the windows software until I see a bootcamp update also. I haven’t had any issues since.
