Disconnect all external storage and hubs. Can you run a SMC and NVRAM Reset and check if the Windows installer will start?

In general, you should plug in your laptop whenever possible, but if you need to leave the charger at your desk/work location, the Mac can be mobile, and be plugged back in later.

The two procedures should clear any anomalies in the internal hardware database and saved settings from previously failed Windows installations.

Excellent. Please remember to back up macOS, Windows and create a Windows System Restore point.
