I am unable to boot into windows 10 via bootcamp
Hello to anyone reading this, your help will be hugely appreciated.
I have a 2018 intel mac mini, and have had no trouble running windows via bootcamp until I played around with some settings to try and get an external Ubuntu drive to be able to connect to wifi. I'm not sure exactly what I did, but now no matter how many times I delete and re-install windows, the following happens.
- Create partition and go through bootcamp steps - successful
- boot into windows for the first time and go through windows setup - successful
After this, the mac restarts into mac OS. The Windows partition is visible both in finder and in the startup disk selector. If I select Windows as startup and restart, I see a black background with white loading spinner for ~10 seconds, then it boots into mac os. If I hold option at startup, I only see mac OS as an option.

I have attempted many of the steps I have found across multiple similar help posts, but still haven't had any luck.
Any help would be hugely hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
