So, I just had to restore my Catalina B5 from Time Machine. I booted into Recovery, restored using Time Machine, and 2 hours later all was up and running again. I think it reformatted the Data drive, and then restored onto it.

Now Catalina is back, and more importantly so is my user profile. Except, my Boot Camp doesn’t seem to work. I can still access Windows 10 via booting into Boot Camp, using the Boot Manager. But I also access it via Parallels (from within macOS). Now, accessing Windows 10 via Parallels, On the Boot Camp partition, doesn’t seem to work. Also, when I check in Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn’t see the Boot Camp partition in macOS anymore.

So, how do I make Boot Camp Assistant see the Boot Camp partition after a Time Machine restore.
 
It is like macOS does not see the Boot Camp partition as a Boot Camp partition. When I open Boot Camp Assistant it is like opening it for the very first time.

I can boot into Windows in Boot Camp, but because macOS does not see it as a Boot Camp partition, Parallels will not use it for a virtual machine.
