Bootcamp Partition No Longer Mounted

I have a very similar problem to what was discussed in this forum: Boot Camp Partition not mounting. I had Sierra, and Bootcamp was working fine. While I had Sierra, I used a tool called MiniTool Partition Wizard to resize my bootcamp disk without deleting Windows, and that worked fine. However, I just upgraded to High Sierra, and now my Bootcamp disk is not mounted, and it has been renamed to "disk0s3" as shown in the figure below. I tried to follow the steps in the post I mentioned earlier, but I think my problem is different enough such that those steps don't quite do it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

Ok, I tried that, and it didn't work. At least, I restarted and Bootcamp wasn't there. But there were a couple things that threw me off. For example, after step 7, it asked me for a HEX code. I probably should've just entered the default, not sure why I didn't now that I think about it. Here's the code:

Oh that's what I meant. I thought selecting it in System Preferences was making it the default. Anyway, I did that, and when it restarted, I got a blank white screen for about a minute, and then it turned black and nothing happened.

Ok, I think I get what you're saying there, but I still don't understand how to get the Windows installer on the flash drive. I don't know which website to go to to get the Windows Installer. You mention how "Create and Download" are the first two options. First two options of what though? Is that on a certain website?

Sorry if I completely missed something.

Sorry, I tried responding a couple minutes ago, but it doesn't look like it went through, so I hope this doesn't come up twice. This is what I got after hitting Continue.

Scroll down to the one named Bootcamp, and use p to list files.

Ok, so I used the default 'deleted' option instead of hitting the right arrow key to change it to 'Primary' (not sure what that means), as shown below.

Then I hit 'p' on the keyboard and got this.

It's preparing the backup. I'll report back when it's done.
