So, for a while now, I'm having issues with Clover always defaulting back to the Recovery partition as the default boot volume. At the moment I'm using the LastBootedVolume setting, but the same thing happens if I specify a disk.

Weird thing is if a do an immediate reboot, Clover will remember the last disk, but if the computer has been running for a while, hours(?)/days, it will default to Recovery again.

Any idea were to start?

This is from my config.plist:

XML:
    <key>Boot</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Arguments</key>
        <string>dart=0 darkwake=0</string>
        <key>Debug</key>
        <false/>
        <key>DefaultVolume</key>
        <string>LastBootedVolume</string>
        <key>Log</key>
        <true/>
        <key>Secure</key>
        <false/>
        <key>Timeout</key>
        <integer>5</integer>
        <key>XMPDetection</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
    </dict>

So no one else having the same issue? I don't now were to start troubleshooting... Because it always works after an instant reboot, but then defaults back after a while, I'm wondering if some specific value is restored after a certain time? NVRAM?

Edit: I just noticed that I had both AptioMemoryFix-64.efi and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi installed. I've just removed EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and nvram.plist, now I'll wait some time and see what happens with the default boot drive. NVRAM works when I do the nvram TestVar=HelloWorld test.

Edit 2: Didn't help. Today Recovery was the default boot volume again.
