Error when installing Windows 10 using bootcamp on 2020 Macbook Intel on Ventura 13.4.1 (c)

I have been attempting to install Windows 10 on my 2020 Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.4.1 (c) and I continue to run into the same error. After the computer restarts into windows I get to the part where it is installing windows, it stalls at the finalizing step and gives me the error:


"Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."


After this it attempts to boot into windows and gives me a blue screen:


Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired


The boot configuration data file is missing some required information.


File: \BCD

Error Code: 0xc0000034


I have attempted many solutions I have found around the internet so far to no avail. I have reset the NVRAM, SCM, reinstall Ventura, and ran first aid on my hard drive. I also contacted both Apple and Microsoft support but they didn't help either. Any help is seriously appreciated, I have spent an immense amount of time already.

I was able to boot into Internet recovery, and run disc utility. It went fine on both volume and container levels but on the parent level (APPLE SSD) it fails ad gives me this error:

The partition mount needs to be repaired because there’s a problem with the EFI system partitions file system. (-69766)

Thank you very much for your help on this, I really appreciate it.


The configurator would be an attempt to revive, linked above.


If the drive is working in a state of failure it would be time to replace the drive;

on a Intel 2020 Macbook Pro this would be a logic board replacement....


if you have AppleCare+ coverage you can use it now..

My apologies I put those in the title but not the body of the question.

I have used both of those guides but I still have the same error.


thanks see it now...


Were you having any issues prior to the Bootcamp on this machine?




You can run Disk First Aid from Internet Recovery and see if First Aid will make the repair..


Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur/Monterey/Ventura) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.


Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —


Volume level

Container level

Parent drive



You cab try simply reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS

In my attempt to boot into Internet Recovery I was given this error: -2003f.

Apparently it is an issue with my wifi?

I have booted into regular recovery mode before with no problems.



Local Recovery is a Volume on your machine— you can not repair your drive booted from that drive; therefore Internet Recovery is the server source



for your Internet Recovery get on a differnt/faster Network if you are suspect

or make some changes see the following


reference: Grant Bennet-Alder sums it up best here—

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250370425?answerId=250705456022#250705456022


"In Internet Recovery, these low negative thousands error messages indicate that your Wi-Fi Network is inadequate in some regard and cannot be used in its current condition. Make some changes:



Some known problems include—

Hidden Network name

Using of a proxy server to get Internet access

A required use of a login page to get Internet access

Use of a login server or certificate to get Internet access

Use of PPPoE in the Mac to get Internet access (typically only applies to DSL)

Use of Fixed IP address rather than DHCP

Variance of the time by more than five minutes

Failure of Router to provide workable DNS server addresses, or providing 0.0.0.0 [may produce -2002f]


You may in some cases be able to move your Mac close to the Router or connect to the Router directly using Ethernet cable.


The higher the number, the more obscure the problem.


Also, make certain the Date & Time and Time Zone are correct within 5 minutes."
