I have only used Bootcamp a little, but I can confirm similar problems.

In my case, after booting back into MacOS with the option key, if I restart my 
Mac, it will try to boot into Windows again, unless I remember to go into the 
Preferences app and change the boot disk to my MacOS disk.  I say "try to boot 
into Windows again" because it always seems to hang when trying to start 
Windows after the first time. The only way that I have found to boot into 
Windows (after once getting out of Windows) is to set the boot disk to my MacOS 
disk, boot into MacOS, and then go back and change the boot disk to Bootcamp.  
Only then will it successfully boot into Windows.

I hardly ever do anything in Windows, but although it's a pain to successfully 
boot into Windows, it seems to work fine (as far as I can tell) after Windows 
boots.

Subject: BootCamp troubles

What is the "correct" way to switch from macOS to Windows using Bootcamp?

If I set the startup disk in macOS to Windows and reboot, I get Windows as 
expected. If I then use the bootcamp tray icon to "reboot to MacOS" I get 
Windows again. The only way I see to get back to MacOS is to use the 
option-boot to select the Mac partition.

Option-boot does work, but it appears the BootCamp boot option in windows 
doesn't do anything, so I suspect I am missing something?
