Windows install crashes on "copying windows files"

I'm trying to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp. I'll get as far as the Windows Setup screen and "Copying Windows files (0%)" and then the computer will abruptly restart. I've spent hours trying to figure out the problem - I even went so far as to erase the computer hard drive, reinstall Big Sur, and try to bootcamp off of a completely clean install. What am I doing wrong?



MacBook Air (2020 or later)

macOS Big Sur has many issues. You may want to consider installing macOS Catalina and retrying BC Assistant.
