still using 8.1, any link for 8.4?

Can you test this off of a USB drive? Backup your important files first.

I tried the NUC8 oc8.5 efi on my nuc8i5beh, but it's stuck on the apple logo with loading bar.
I have a opencore efi folder from around januari february this year which runs fine.

Thanks for testing, I didn’t have a chance this morning. I have 8.3 working with Ventura but forget if I posted that version

No problem. Maybe I did something wrong. I always take out my ssd and connect to my pc where I delete the OC and Boot folder with Disk Genius. And then copy the OC and BOOT folder back from here. Normally this always works for me.

I just uploaded 8.4 a couple posts back after testing it, worked for me. To each his own but instead of removing your boot drive to update the EFI partition maybe try using a tool like EFI Agent. It is pretty simple to use and can achieve the same thing without taking your NUC apart.

Here is a link

thanks, tested 8.5 and worked fine

Took a bit longer to boot as before (having a "bad trim nvme").

Is the SIP toggle new or already there since a previous release?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I now also tried 8.4 and then my nuc keeps restarting at the apple logo and with 8.5 it freezes at the apple logo.
When I copy back my 7.7 efi folder it boots again.
