<< Solved >> Is it still worth running a older version of mac?

[Feartech]

Just a quick question which I can't find anywhere, is it possible to disable UEFI Shell in OC ?

you can edit your config.plist to show and hide that one, under Tools section:

<dict>
                <key>Arguments</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Auxiliary</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Not signed for security reasons</string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <true/>
                <key>Flavour</key>
                <string>Auto</string>
                <key>FullNvramAccess</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Name</key>
                <string>UEFI Shell</string>
                <key>Path</key>
                <string>OpenShell.efi</string>
                <key>RealPath</key>
                <false/>
                <key>TextMode</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>

either disable it, or better, remove that section

Thank you . Oh something I want to mention, If there are anyone that uses the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F I have found away to downgrade the BIOS. Downgrading can only be done if you downgrade each revision this is sketchy but I no longer need the ACPI Patch that is posted here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/asus-rog-strix-z390-e-gaming.282709/page-2#post-1998962

The fix for the CPU showing wrong is to change CPU type to 0 which fixes the CPU showing up as the wrong model.

This can be marked as solved now How I solved Audio problem, Looked in ioreg, Audio Controller wasn't showing up under HDEF but was showing up as HDAS so did a ACPI Patch and renamed to HDEF rebooted, Reset NVRAM and audio started working.
