bootcamp windows 10 start

SMC used to work for a while but it stopped working. This was my first solution. I also tried PRAM.

Parallels is using the Bootcamp partition, i.e. changes in Parallels changes windows. It was not imported into Parallels.

Now This is the Latest update: I also had a problem with the Pro license that was not showing up. Contacted MS and they said the only way to get my Pro license back was to install Windows 8.1. I erased the Bootcamp Partition and installed Windows 1703 since I have an iMac 2017 and you cannot install Windows 8. Once Windows 1703 was installed, I installed Windows 8.1 using the ISO. To do so you have to use the Sources setup and do a custom install. Once the Windows 8.1 was installed, I only installed the wireless driver (I downloaded the Bootcamp Drivers from Bootcamp Assistant prior to starting the whole process and saved it on a USB). With Wi-Fi access, I went to MS to the ISO download page and RUN the upgrade installer. Once it finished installed all the Bootcamp drivers. Apple Updates had a couple of drivers updates (one was for display driver, the other I can't recall). Run Apple Updates twice. Used gpedit to stop any MS drivers updates and to notify before download updates, also changed the settings to delay updates for now. Once I know everything is working properly this can be modified as needed. Ended up with Windows 1803 Pro Licensed in Bootcamp working properly.

Booted into Mac OS and went to Parallels and created a new VM to run from the Bootcamp partition just to make sure that is all a clean install.

So far is all working except the VM license. I ran out of time to see what's the problem. I haven't installed any apps jet.

Windows was already installed. The installation is not the problem the problem is to get back into Bootcamp and be able to login. I just have the Windows installed in Bootcamp at this point, till I figure out what's the problem I will not install any apps. Apple Genius didn't say anything so I don't know just that it worked.

You are might be wright in that the VM maybe causing issues. But I think the problem is Windows is not totally shutting off when you tell it to shut off. The reason I'm saying this I just disconnect the whole computer waited a while and connected the power and started and I was successful in login into Windows and created a restore point something I was not able to do before I went to Apple, so at least I got one step ahead.

Obviously it is nothing I'll be able to solve and it's a software issue which one I don't know. At this point Windows is running so I'll continue to use Parallels. BTW I have Parallels running from Bootcamp not imported into Parallels.

Windows Fast Start is disabled.

Parallels using a Virtual Disk not imported.

In theory I could try but before I do it I wanted to find out more of what is causing the problem since 1709 used to work. Also I'm concerned about the license, I don't want to loose it. In the past on another machine I had to go back and MS refused to activate the license because it was an upgrade and the 10 days expired. I had to buy a new license.

I have never experience the Kernel Panics and want to make sure that there is nothing wrong with my new iMac.

That's exactly what I did 4 times. 2 times with 1803 and 2 with 1709. Nothing connected except the key board and the mouse which are both wireless (one of the time I tried with a usb mouse and keyboard ). Even the Wi-Fi is off. After the drivers are installed for the bootcamp it gets stuck on the loop that won't start. Only one time booted only once. That's why I think it's either a MS and Apple compatibility problem or there is something wrong with the computer.

I took the machine over to the Genius Bar. After they run the test windows worked that's the good news. Bad news I opened parallels and realized that I didn't make a restore point and unfortunately now I'm back on the same spot. Parallels works but Bootcamp goes into the eternal loop.

I tried PRAM reset but no luck. Unless someone comes up with a good solution I'm out of options.
