Ventura Update stuck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] (Haswell)
You also seem to be using an older version of OpenCore, so updating that would be a good idea if you get the GPU issue sorted.

Booting Windows error: OCB: StartImage failed - Already started - what to do under BlessOverride?
This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf (opens new window)for more details.

Intel i3 8100 & UHD 630 | macOS Monterey
I found two solutions. The first is a kext named "BlueToolFixup.kext" (https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM) to make the UB400 work on higher versions. The second solution is a program that makes wireless USB adapters functional even though no drivers were available from the manufacturer (https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter/releases/tag/V16).
