when are boot camp drivers going to be updated ?

it's been a while since high sierra came out.

i'm wondering when Apple plans to update the boot camp utility (windows side) to recognize the APFS partition .... so that it shows up as a selectable startup option ....

i am referring to the diamond-shaped boot camp button i have in the windows 10 taskbar.

macOS High Sierra (10.13), 2.0 GHz/16GB/256GB

@sakman74, thanks for confirming that is the only step.

@sakman74, @Loner T,

Although I couldn't see the option appear while running my bootcamp partition via Fusion, I took the risk of booting native to windows, and the option appears and functions as expected. A huge relief! Thanks!

It is inside the WindowsSupport.dmg files. It may be faster to do this on the macOS side.

A Fusion drive is not same as an APFS container. The iMac Pro version supports APFS, not CoreStorage.

VMware Fusion is running a Windows Guest, not as BC partition. It will behave differently. Good to see you got it sorted out. 😎
