What's not Working in OpenCore

  • All the things in What's not Working in Clover section
  • No theme
  • Can not boot Windows
  • Slightly slower booting speed

Need more testing...

These not working items do not represent OpenCore bootloader is weaker than Clover, but do relate to my lack of experience.

What can work better

FAQ

My device is locked by Find My Mac and can't be booted, what should I do now?

Press Fn+F11 when you are in Clover boot page. Then Clover will refresh nvram.plist, and lock message should be removed.

I opened the FileVault and I can't find macOS partition in Clover boot page, how can I solve it?

It is not recommened to open FileVault. You can press Fn + F3 in the Clover boot page and choose the icon with FileVault. Then you can boot in the system and close FileVault.

My touchpad isn't working after update.

You need to rebuild the kext cache after every system update. Use Kext Utility.app or type sudo kextcache -i / in Terminal.app. Then restart. If this still doesn't work, try to press F9.

I can't boot in Windows/Linux by using Clover, but able to boot by press F12 and select OS.

Many people met this problem by using the new version of AptioMemoryFix.efi. A workaround is to delete AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in /CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ and replace it with the old version provided in #93.
