Boot Camp "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" Loop

Hello. I'm not sure if this question has already been answered, but my MacBook Air is stuck in a windows installation loop, saying,

"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation".

This, of course, leads to an endless loop.

The Shift+F10 trick seems to only work for Windows computers (I could be totally wrong), but that's the only solution the internet provides. I really need some help. Thanks in advance!

A lot of people has this problem. I've hadn't find a solution yet, it seems to have appeared since the last bootcamp drivers update.

What types of issues are you seeing currently? Does Alt/Option work? Did NVRAM Reset help?

What specific release of W10 are you using - 1607, 1703, 1709?

Should I still allow bootcamp to download the "latest support software" or tweak the installation in some way?

So after 2 more attempts both still ended up in a frozen getting ready screen - it was however spinning for significantly longer than before. Where do I go from here?
