I've already talked about this issue on a different forum post, but they locked it for some reason. Here it is.

Basically, I finally got a USB2 flashdrive, but I still have the same problem. Somebody please help
I originally installed W10 using W10 1511 on a 2013 rMBP. It has been upgraded to 1703. I have stopped after that. If you have any of the ones between these two releases, can you test?
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/ for reference.
Yes, it begins correctly. It gets frozen at the very last step before it boots fully into windows. It's literally the "Getting Ready" right before it gets in where it freezes. And it doesn't progress, I left it sitting all night and nothing came from it.
Remove and re-install Windows using 1511. Once it is installed, before you connect to any network and the W10 'forced' updates kill it again, use https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2500967/how-to-stop-windows-7-automatically-installing-drivers to disable all driver updates . This procedure also works on W8.1/W10.
Okay I've disabled the driver updates. I have also had a problem where the trackpad does not right click. I looked through the control panel but I didn't see anywhere to turn it on like there is in the mac settings. What can I do about this problem?
I have spoken too soon.
Does the installer start correctly after the reboot?
What is the name of W10 ISO you are using?
I've tried using both 1709 and 1903
Has the storage on your 2013 MBP been replaced?
No it is original. The device name is APPLE SSD SM0256G
I used 1511 and it worked. At long last I am tying this in windows. Thank you so much for all the help you have given me.
Excellent!
Do you have a Trackpad tab in Bootcamp Control Panel?
I have just discovered that. Thank you again
Nice!
Bootcamp not working. Windows install freezes at "gettting ready"
