So I've setup my hackintosh, everything working fine.
I've always used Switchable Graphics in Windows 10, it worked fine, switched when needed and I could reboot without problems. But when I reboot (or shutdown) in MacOS, the laptop does something really weird...
1. It tries to boot (fans spinning) for 5 secs
2. Fails or crashes and everything turns off again.
3. After 3 secs it attempts to boot again, but this time Switchable Graphics option in BIOS is set to false (every other option in BIOS stays the same, it's only Switchable Graphics)
I do need Switchable Graphics on because I want to use my iGPU for MacOS, when Switchable Graphics is off it uses the NVIDIA card. So it does work once, and after shutting down or rebooting my laptop does the weird crash/reset thing. And obviously I don't want to enter BIOS every reboot to change Switchable Graphics on again.
Anyone here knows how to fix the resetting, or at least another way to use iGPU only?
(I've already followed the guide on disabling NVIDIA discrete graphics, but this only works with Switchable Graphics on, else it uses Software rendering, so I've reverted the disable NVIDIA discrete graphics patches again.)
(Maybe) important Software:
NVIDIA Web Drivers

EDIT: Forgot to say, the Switchable Graphics option in BIOS only gets reset to disabled when I boot with Switchable Graphics enabled into MacOS. Windows and Linux are rebooting fine.
