Windows "Repair" issue with Opencore

[gothic]

Is it entering Automatic Repair?

Yes, that's what is happening.

Weird. Try the SSDTs and let me know if it still happens.

A lot has happened today, I'll have my own head in the morning and be able to do the reply justice.

Right. Yesterday morning I started from scratch, assembling the files and creating a new pair of SSDT's and new config.
Not a blind bit of diference.
Researching that Windows error (in attached image) I see it appears when Windows thinks there are missing files or corruption in those files, though far too non-specific for my liking.
Seems as though I'm back to square one.
Just a reminder, Windows boots perfectly from the BIOS with NO issues, and it's a clean install.

I started from scratch againyesterday morning.
Formatted both M.2's, and performed clean installs of both Catalina and Windows 10.
Assembled a new Opencore (0.6.1) and STILL THE SAME, when I select to boot into Windows from Opencore all it will do is take me to the "Recovery" screen, but boots perfectly from BIOS.

Can you upload your new EFI?

The next step is to change the config to disable most things (SMBIOS, ACPI) and see if it still occurs.

I've got exact same issue on my desktop (MSI H270 PC MATE) but on HP laptop it's working fine with triple boot.

Don't enable ACPI patches for OSes other than macOS by hasashin · Pull Request #147 · acidanthera/OpenCorePkg

There is no need to patch ACPI on operating systems as Windows or Linux so this mod disable acpi support when selected entry is not any of macOS entries.

UPD: I tried to disable all ACPI *.aml with no luck. So... what options do we have?
- we need to fix smth else? (but for kabulake are only 3 pathes should be applied)

It's seems that devs are saying "go **** youself" and you MUST fix all ACPI issues on your own even if it's tables from official manual, doh

You have the best option and that is to use the bios boot picker to select the drive that you want to boot from!

That's a bad UX option when you have to enter bios to manually change EFI

Most newer computers and laptops alike allow you to press F12 or another key to select a boot device... it is not a permanent choice but neither is picking a different boot device in open core.
