@Chagui
Thanks for the clarification on your restart loop problem.
I have a NUC10i7, with BIOS FNCML37.0045.2020.0817.1709
OpenCore 0.6.6, Big Sur 11.2.1
I have never experienced a restart problem like yours.
I downloaded the github EFI you referenced, and installed it in the EFI folder of a USB thumb drive. There were 4 different config.plist options offering either the native OC boot picker, or the OpenCanopy boot picker, with either AppleALC.kext (headphone sound) or VoodooHDA.kext (HDMI sound).
My own EFI uses the VoodooHDA.kext, for HDMI sound, and I use HeliPort for WiFi which I don't use.
I booted from the USB thumb drive with each of the four options of config.plist, and tested shutting down and had no problems getting a solid shutdown.
I thought it might be a BIOS issue, but you have found an EFI that doesn't loop, which would seem to rule out a BIOS setting, but instead an EFI setting or combination of the kexts, SSDTs used.
• Are you using the same BIOS as shown above? I'm not sure if it's the latest, but it has worked well for me.
If you have the Hackintool app you might check the "Power" tab and check the values for "hibernatemode" and "proximitywake." Both should have values of 0. But I don't believe these values are affected by config.plist.
My last suggestion is to compare the "good" vs. "bad" config.plist files you have to look for differences. Then do some trial and error testing to determine what the key difference may be.
Good luck!
