Bootcamp Issues on 2017 MacBook Pro 15"

[fenderbass146]

So I just go my MacBook Pro 15" 2017 base model. I installed a bootcamp partition and there are just some weird quirks.

1. I can no longer see my Mac OS X partition when it bootcamp. It is running Mojave and I'm assuming this is related to the new AFPS file system. Is there a work around to be able to view my Mac OS partition. I only assigned 40 GB to Windows as that's enough to store my core apps and programs and would like to access my Mac partition and I use an external ssd for games and big files.
2. My Magic Keyboard and Mouse are not working. They worked at first, but now I can't get them to work. They say they are paired but I get no response. I tried re-adding without any luck.
3. I'm unable to reboot into Mac OS X by using the bootcamp control panel in Windows. It says something about the Mac OS X partition is not available. I'm only able to get back into Mojave by holding Alt on boot up. This isn't a big deal, but what's annoying is anytime I go into Windows and reboot the laptop it will always default back into Windows. The only way I can get it default back to booting Mac OS X is by going in the Mac system preferences and selecting Macintosh HD as my boot devices. That setting will hold, but as soon as I go into Windows once it looses that setting.

Side note: I'm using Parallels to load bootcamp while in Mac OS X as well.


Is there a fix for any of these things, I understand apple really doesn't care about bootcamp, but these seem like major oversights and are quite irritating.

AFAIK Windows unfortunately cannot see a volume in APFS but I believe that Tuxera and/or Paragon have already again at least NTFS support on the Mac side.
These things have made me remain in High Sierra. where JHFS+ is still possible.
