Boot Camp Partition not visible in High Sierra
Running an iMac 2017 (macOS 10.13.2) with bootcamped Windows 10 Pro (1709).
The problem is more or less a cosmetic hassle, but I would prefer to have it solved because it can disturb later repair operations. It is quite similar to this one , but my system is 10.13, has APFS, and I never installed any NTFS read/write solutions like Paragon NTFS, Tuxera etc. (which was the solution in the former thread)
On High Sierra I
- Cannot see Boot Camp from preferences when selecting startup disk.
- Cannot see Boot Camp mounted on desktop
- Cannot see Boot Camp in finder sidebar
- Can see Boot Camp in Disk Utility but it is grayed out and I cannot run first aid or mount
Systems are selectable via Restart and pressed Option Key, both are working without any trouble.
In startup disk of High Sierra selecting the only one option „OS X“ lets system restart only to „OS X“, whereas in Windows 10 Boot Camp startup panel the only one option „Windows“ restarts the system always in Windows. Thus the function of a working startup panel can become realized, but in a more complicated way.
I tried SMC Reset, NVRAM Reset, Reinstalled 10.13 via Recovery without Erase.
Here some outputs of the usually asked Terminal commands (after „csrutil disable“ in Recovery):

Would like to see Bootcamp partition in Finder, on Desktop and in Startup Panel. Any idea what’s wrong?
