Issue with Boot Camp with APFS drive

So I'm trying to figure out why I'm no longer able to fully utilize my MacBook Pro after moving to High Sierra. Now that my hard drive is formatted APFS, I can't seem to find a way to install Windows 10 on my drive. There seems to be no way to partition my drive in a way that would allow for the OS to be installed.


That seems like a pretty big oversight.


Can someone help me figure this out? I really hope that I'm just missing something. It would be very odd to still include Boot Camp Assistant in the operating system if it cannot be used. I've searched online as much as I can and have tried all the suggestions I've found, including erasing my drive and doing a clean install of High Sierra, and still nothing.


I'd really appreciate some assistance.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

You may need to temporarily disable SIP for the following command. Post the output of


sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0


The repairDisk error is not a good sign. We may need to create a backup (via Backup Now) and erase the whole disk and restore the TM backup to fix this issue. Before you do that, boot in Safe Mode and boot normally, and retry BCA.

If you see any errors, stop and post the output of the Terminal session.


Run


diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3

diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC2 disk0s4

diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC3 disk0s5

diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s5

diskutil list


If you see only disk0s3, then


diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3


and run BC Assistant and click on Remove/Restore.

I created a Time Machine backup and completely erased my Mackintosh HD in recovery mode and did a clean install of High Sierra last night, and restored the Time Machine backup. And still have this issue today.


Should I erase the disk in a different way?
