It’s not the UEFI, it’s the smart boot that’s the problem right now and MS needs to resolve this, for reasons you’ve already named, before rollout.
#CLOVER EFI FORCING NO COMPATIBILITY CHECK ON BOOT PROFESSIONAL#
After successfully hard switching to UEFI, testing, multiple reboots, then (attempting) enabling secure boot, my system was cratered the same as the rest in this thread and I’m running an MSI mobo and they’re running a GB name brand I otherwise trust too from 24 years of IT Professional experience. I had solidified that switch to UEFI without issue prior to attempting enabling secure boot and tested (and I am guessing many others did too). Win11 requirements can go to hell and die like Win8! Don’t need this crap for a Mac interface GUI ripoff!Ĭlick to expand.I agree with your comments (generally) whole heartedly, but no one here is posting issues with switching to UEFI.Went into BIOS and made sure none of the secure boot stuff was in there by default, which it wasn’t, rebooted and I’m back in the game.Early indicators that this worked were that extra lights on my gaming keyboard and mouse were coming to life right away. As previously said, after messing around to figure out which of my video cards/ports it wanted to use as primary I was pleasantly presented with the “enter BIOS or continue options”.AC power plugged back in and powered up.Battery back in and one more jumper reset for good measures.Pulled the battery for 30 mins afterwards as 10 mins wasn’t enough for the onboard capacitors to discharge.Connected the two CMOS jumpers, per my MSI manual, to reset the BIOS/UEFI to factory presets… HARD WIPE NUCLEAR MODE.Disconnected from AC power leaving only the onboard battery for the CMOS.turned it all off and disconnected all peripherals with the exception of keyboard, mouse and monitor (have 5 displays and two video cards and HDMI/DP connectors, so it took a bit of time to figure out which the BIOS wanted to us as primary in the end.I fixed it after painstaking troubleshooting. I had this exact same issue but my mobo is MSI.
