This is Clover v 4658. I have several hard drives in my computer...
- 500GB SDD with Windows 10
- 1TB SDD for data only
- 120GB SDD for OSX
- 400GB HDD for Mint Linux

When I boot the computer with Clover set to LastBootedVolume, the countdown works and the last OS I used is selected. I want Clover to default to Windows with a countdown.

When I set the Default Boot Volume to a UUID, it will select Windows but the countdown timer never happens. I assume that it is selecting Windows because it is the first entry in the list, not because of the UUID that I'm trying.

UUID's that I have tried:
6F6B7DB3-50E4-49D6-9364-D3D9824783D6
F0A82076-4DDA-431F-AC25-04FA56DDC25A

DD120282-D4F8-4120-8B5B-AF2A9A0F0653

I have attached my config.plist and bootlog.txt files.

This is the output from diskutil list:

Try setting the name of the OSX disk instead of last booted volume. If that is the disk with the clover on it.

Then select windows tab boot and reboot and see if it loads it again.

So, if I set the Default Boot Volume to "OS X" then the countdown works and it will always select my OS X installation regardless of the last booted OS.

To go a step further, I got the UUID of my OS X disk and used that... doesn't work. No countdown and Windows is the selected OS every time.

Obviously I'm not understanding how to find the correct UUID for the partition/disk that I want to boot by default. :(

The UUID I used for my OS X disk is 687533A5-9FDF-3065-8A54-FAF8CB158500

Clover's device path description for your macOS volume is
Code: 
PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x17,0x0)\Sata(0x1,0xFFFF,0x0)\HD(2,GPT,AC8C2B07-5081-4364-9458-99E6F70A6261,0x64028,0xDF30B60)\VenMedia(BE74FCF7-0B7C-49F3-9147-01F4042E6842,A5337568DF9F65308A54FAF8CB158500)
Search for it in bootlog.txt, you can use any unique part for matching the DefaultVolume setting.

My disk is named "OS X".

I used A5337568DF9F65308A54FAF8CB158500 as the UUID and it does boot OS X with the countdown timer.

Now I just need to determine which entry in the bootlog is for Windows.
 
Well... I didn't have any luck trying to find the UUID that I should be using for my Windows installation, but I did find another solution...

I specified "EFI" for my default boot volume. I just happened to notice that this was unique among the drives that Clover had listed, so I gave it a shot.

Now I'm booting into Window by default after Clover counts down. I'm happy!

Thanks for all the help guys.... I'd still rather use a unique UUID, but since this works I'll live with it.

Probably this EFI partition
Code: 
PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x17,0x0)\Sata(0x1,0xFFFF,0x0)\HD(1,GPT,D7ED65C9-C905-4CF8-8A17-5106C7E286A3,0x28,0x64000)
Volume 12
