MacIntosh Icon missing from boot camp control panel in windows 10

Good evening to all, I need your assistance to resolve this problem.

When I open the boot camp control panel in Windows 10 and I click on the startup disk tab the MacIntosh hard drive icon is missing. Therefore I cannot select my MacIntosh hard drive as startup drive.

However, It is not missing when I start my MacBook pro 2015 and maintain my finger on option key at startup.

Mac OS is working fine and Windows 10 is working fine as well. The only issue is the missing MacIntosh icon in the boot camp control panel in Windows 10.

Does any of you ever had this issue and would any of you have a fix. Thanks for your assistance.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

This is a known issue in High Sierra because Bootcamp Control Panel has not been updated to understand the new APFS file structures.

See How to switch between Windows and macOS in macOS High Sierra - Apple Support for reference.

I have the very same issue. Do we know when this update is due? Will this be an OSX update or something that will have to be updated on the boot camp side?

Check Apple Software Update on Windows side.
