I like being able to choose windows in the startup disk preference pane, as well as in the boot camp tool within windows. I boot windows through OC on my X1 Extreme and my AMD desktop without issue. Chainloading windows with GRUB2 or Refind without issues. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/346639-updated-tips-and-observations-for-big-sur-and-monterey-b2/ 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/279/#findComment-2762357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Developers, OC 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 upgrade was painless. Thank you! Every once in a while, I peruse the Dortania docs to learn a little more. Your documentation is OUTSTANDING. Well done! 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/279/#findComment-2762435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Freeman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I'd like to add the csr-data kext-allowed-teams variable to the NVRAM section of my OC plist but can't figure out how to format it. It's mentioned in the OC docs but with no details about how to format the entry. If I try to inject it as a string the brackets appear in NVRAM as ascii trash (<dict><key>kext-allowed-teams</key><array><string>...). If I try to inject it as a dictionary it doesn't appear in NVRAM at all. Can this value be injected ok from the plist? If I clear NVRAM for any reason it's a whole process to put it back and re-enable the associated kext so it would be great if I could inject it along with my other NVRAM parameters.

If only to allow unsigned kexts to load you can configure your config.plist: config.plist-->NVRAM--> <key>7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82</key> <dict> <key>boot-args</key> <string>-v -lilubetaall keepsyms=1 -wegnoegpu</string> <key>csr-active-config</key> <data>ZwgAAA==</data> <key>prev-lang:kbd</key> <string></string> </dict> Note that ZwgAAA== represents csr-active-config 67080000 If it is something else perhaps this will assist you: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2017/08/29/user-approved-kernel-extension-loading/ <dict> <key>kext-allowed-teams</key> <array> <string>0123456789</string> </array> </dict> 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/279/#findComment-2762513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but what you're asking is a non sense. Until Monterey it was very easy to extract bluetooth sync keys (with hackintool or other methods) and insert them in windows registry. All this to use Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, AirPods in both OS's without reconnecting each time. In Monterey those methods doesn't work anymore. A good option for OC can be the feature of genuine Mac's to share Bluetooth sync between Mac OS and windows automatically.

Guest 5T33Z0 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 So, after I updated from this build: dc20977 on my Laptop which runs macOS Catalina to this build: 9324c9e, my macOS Volume is no longer displayed in the Boot menu. I guess it's related to this change: - Increased default APFS `MinDate` and `MinVersion` to macOS Big Sur for better security Could someone explain what this change means and does? After reverting back to dc20977 everything is fine.
