Windows 10 setup with BootCamp freezes.

I followed the steps to install Windows 10 from Install Windows 10 with Boot Camp - Apple Support (BY)


There is no update in Software Update except macOS Sonoma.

I have macOS Monterey, Mac mini 2018, Macmini8,1, 3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4


1. I restored Full Security before installing Windows. I used it to boot Windows 10 from external ssd, that works.

2. BCA did not ask to create USB, I just select iso file to ~/Documents/OS/Windows.iso. I used Windows.iso to install Windows 10 on VirtualBox and it worked.

3. After reboot, I see Windows icon, then "Setup is starting" shows and it freezes. Instead I must see next screen with selecting the language.

I have to press hard power off (press power button for 5 or more seconds).

If I reboot with Option key pressed, I see two devices to boot Macintosh and Windows. If I click Windows, then it freezes again and "Setup is starting."


How to fix the issue?
