That's happened to me before on that platform (and others). I found this older thread at the time which talks about Clover as well as EasyUEFI and how to restore the EFI boot partition which somehow gets hidden. I was using OpenCore but also already had Windows installed on another drive so I downloaded the free version of EasyUEFI and figured out how to add back the boot partition on my OS X drive. I've since bought the program but the free version is good for 15 days I think.

[Solved] UEFI clover boot option gone after BIOS update

Following fixing a different issue, where Clover was making a new UEFI boot drive every time I restarted (causing 20+ boot drives in bios), my issues have gone the other way. I updated BIOS to F20, and no longer see any UEFI drives to go to clover in the BIOS setup - only the two drives in the...

EasyUEFI is insanely easy to work with + it's trial was more than enough to fix my issue.

Thanks!

Glad you got that sorted out, and, for what its worth, its happened to other users here (as I mentioned myself included). I suspect its related to Windows trying to control the boot sector, but I also think the motherboard BIOS contributes to the problem.

Did you try using Chrome or Firefox browsers?

Yup firefox and Waterfox work perfectly fine. I wonder why Safari is the issue

Hello,

since the right SMBIOS is very important, I was wondering if chose the right one.

Hardware:
I9 9900k (with iGPU)
Radeon VII

with video editing and rendering I have a heavy workload for the system

what is your opinion?

According to the developers of OpenCore with your setup and using Mojave or newer iMac19,1 is recommended. See the Dortania Install Guide Under Coffee Lake for more information. See attachment screen grab from there.

Fresh installation of macOs Big sur with Vanilla Open Core 0.6.5 successfully.
- Sleep working
- Wifi working
- Bluetooh working

For now I am using usbAllInject, tomorrow I will add .dsl witch my 15 usb ports and test the rest of the functions.

I have a question, my build has Core i7 8700 with RX 580, currently I am using SMBios 19,1, however in About this mac it is showing me Core i9 processor. Which SMBios do I have to use?

I used to use 18,3 on Mojave

Thanks

That's cosmetic and won't change how your system performs. If you have used iMac 18,3 before it should also work with OpenCore even though it is not the recommended SYMBIOS. I use Macmini8,1 on my NUC8 which is also not the developer recommendation but closest to my hardware and it works perfectly

Continuing with my build, I can put my system to sleep. However when I wake up the system, the fans speed up for few seconds. Anyone has experience this behavior?
