Whenever I use macOS with a certain Scan Policy number, (which only recognizes Mac volumes) everything works fine. I can use all of the kexts I need, everything is great. But when I try adding Windows, that’s where I hit problems. For starters, I might get a kernel panic that I can’t fix, or it’s stuck at “itlwm: (message goes here).” Or maybe I’m lucky and it boots up without problems like shown. image.jpg
But, the keyboard (and mouse) won’t work. Bluetooth doesn’t work so I can’t hook up an actual Mac keyboard. Plus I don’t have any others. I really need some help.

Since 11.3 and later, USB Mapping is required. Are your ports mapped?

I can't even manage to get past opencore's bootloader - it mumbles something about failing to load image. Would you consider sharing your EFI folder with me before I go mad!

thanks.
