Tried to resize MacOS partition to make bootcamp driver bigger, now bootcamp won't boot

I followed what the top rated comment here said to do:

My MacOS partition is indeed now smaller, but my Windows partition won't show up when I reboot and hold the option key. Is there a way to fix this? My bootcamp is Windows 10 (upgraded from Windows 7) on a Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 13"

I can't speak for the procedure you linked to, however, it would appear that somehow you may have overwritten the Windows 10 boot sector. The only application that I'm aware of that works to resize a Boot Camp partition is the CampTune utility from Paragon Software. There is also WinClone which can be used to image the Windows partition before resizing.

I'm not sure you can repair the Windows 10 boot sector without reinstalling but perhaps someone else would know.

I've encountered a problem like this before. The fix is often so convoluted and difficult to nail down that it's just easier and quicker to delete the whole thing and start again from scratch.
