I know what you mean, but can't complain given Clover is infinitely lovely compared with its cost
Could your success be attributed to the version of Clover that you're using? I tried this for my problematic entry, and it didn't work. I'm on an older version, 4895.Hi all,
If anybody is having the same problem I had, I could not seem to be able to hide the partition ""Boot Windows from EFI".
In order to hide it, I added the name of the partition in quotes like this "Boot Windows from EFI" like so in Clover in the GUI section.
Hope this helps.
I do not have the Microsoft folder inside the EFI folder (please, have a look at the attachment).I wanted to share an update on my situation, in case anyone else encounters something similar. If you have an annoying extra entry called "Boot Microsoft EFI Boot from EFI" (this is not the normal Windows boot entry of similar name), do the following:
Mount your EFI partition (via Clover Configurator or manually).
Once mounted and inside, navigate to EFI (folder) -> Microsoft -> Boot
Inside the Boot folder, there should be three files ending in extension .efi (as of this writing), as follows:
bootmgfw.efi
bootmg.efi
memtest.efi
If you see any others with a .efi extension, you should rename them by adding another extension at the end, such as this example: name_of_file.efi.backup or name_of_file.efi.old - in other words, do not delete any files. Leave them there so that you can rename them back to their original names if needed.
For further reading here is the backstory of my situation:
In my case, I had an extra .efi file after trying workarounds to get Clover bootloader back after a Windows update had taken over and made it disappear. At the time, I had renamed bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi, which brought the Clover bootloader back to life, but another Windows update came along and put a new bootmgfw.efi in there, causing Clover to disappear again. So, after searching for a better option, I found a Linux solution (see Linux command here) that prevents Windows from taking over again in the future. However, in doing so, I forgot to delete bootmgfw-orig.efi, so the next time I updated Windows, a new bootmgfw.efi appeared and caused a duplicate entry. LONG STORY SHORT: all instances of a bootmgfw file will cause additional entries when they have a .efi extension, regardless of their base name.
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on Clover r5108.Hi all,
