Hm, are you trying to boot into macOS High Sierra but ending up in a broken Windows installation?

Or are you saying your Windows is broken ever since the upgrade to High Sierra?

You're on an iMac… you wouldn't happen to be on an iMac with a Fusion Drive, and with a Boot Camp partition, and the Mac partition upgraded to APFS? Cause there's various problems pointed out by the release notes:

Quote:
• Some iMacs with 3TB Fusion drives and BootCamp may be unsupported for use with APFS.
• An APFS container on a Fusion drive can have only 1 macOS 10.13 volume.
Can you boot into Recovery Mode (cmd-R)?

I turned my machine on normally to start working and BAM this is what I got.

I got on with Apple and they had me boot into Utilties, which I was able too (At first).I selected the Macintosh HD and then Did a Repair Disk, which everything looked fine with it. Rebooted and the chat person had me do a NVRAM Reset - It ran a quiet chime, and then a normal volume chime. Rebooted and it was the blue screen again.. the odd thing is it’s WINDOWS issues... NOW that being said.. I shutdown and then did the CMD+R to Get back into utilities and now it wont load up.. It just shows basically the backlit black screen.. Holding Opotion for Drive Selection (I have a USB Sierra Install) but when it does load, but shows a Windows, not usb installer volume. I’ll attach and pic of that.. Holding T (target disk mode?) shows the icon for that, I don’t have a external to load a full OS on it, and boot it from that, not like it would do any good at this point.. Also I don’t use boot camp or Windows..

It's almost as if it were a developer beta release or something.

Guessing High Sierra corrupted the Windows EFI Boot Manager and nothing on the actual Windows partition itself.

How many times have we heard that... "everything was fine and then wham! BSOD"

you'd begin to wonder if Redmond had a habit of shipping flaky code that really should have had more time in QA/QC...

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

It’s odd - Since I’ve been Beta testing since Jaguar, I would have NEVER seen anything like these issues with iOS 11 and OS H.S. pass out of Alpha Testing. This is super sad. Why Windows would even have a boot manager without the set up on Bootcamp - it’s beyond me. There are so many bugs that I cant keep up submitting my feedbacks. This takes the cake as I usually back up Sunday mornings and my weeks worth of projects (which is a lot some weeks, are all gone, luckily nothings SUPER imperative I’ve lost this projects forever...

UPDATE: I took it into the Apple Store for the Genius Bar appt. He booted from Target Disk (reading my HDD as an external). It apparently did something that is separated the partitions in the Fusion Drive. He said that it can take quite a bit of time to do that, so they may just place the drive, but should have it in stock... that being said. He then checked stock and nope no parts... It would be nice to have them upgrade to SSD since they are in there and a VESA Mount, BUT can they do that? lol

It's just how UEFI booting works in Windows now. The UEFI firmware points to a separate partition called Windows Boot Manager with a list of all the bootable volumes. Sometimes if you mirror/clone drives, you end up with two Windows Boot Managers on separate physical disks...

Basically I think the solution is to reinstall Windows.

You never had Windows installed and yet you're now getting a Windows error screen?

Whoa.

The answer is simple, Apple is trolling you.

Hi All, I'm new to the forum. I wondered could someone help me out. I'm having difficulty with an install of Windows 7 via bootcamp on a MBP late 2013 with High Sierra. I'm getting a BSOD. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
