About booting into Windows

Open Xungerrrr opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, I'd love to learn more about how to configure OpenCanopy to enable booting into Windows. Could you share more info about that?

You can find everything about OpenCanopy here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/cosmetic/gui.html#setting-up-opencore-s-gui OpenCanopy will detect every bootable EFI partition on all availables drives.

If I boot into Windows using OpenCore, the brightness keys won't work in Windows. Do you have the same issue?

Altough currently not using this REPO, I use the from thefiredragon on 4KTouch I can confirm this behavior.

For me @Ben your advise changing the SSDT-XOSI.aml.aml works so I could use opencore for selection during boot. No more blue screen when starting window. But as Xungerrrr mentioned Problem on brightness keys.

This is because opencore still injects the same scripts for MacOS as it does for Windows. I always boot into windows via F12 as I have a separate NVME for the Windows and MacOS Installation. Everything then works as per the vanilla install

I think the best way is to edit the ACPI resonsible of this behaviour to add a test that does nothing when OS is not Darwin.
