Before installing the macOS, I disabled Secure Boot, Fast Boot, TPM in the BIOS Settings. Also, I created 300MB EFI Partition (in FAT32 format for later Clover installation), and 120GB of NTFS Partition (later formatted into APFS during installation) for installation. This is due to either incorrect BIOS settings and/or incorrect Booter values. Make sure config.plist - Booter - Quirks is correct and verify your BIOS settings: Above4GDecoding is Enabled; CSM is Disabled(Enabling Windows8.1/10 WHQL Mode can do the same on some boards) BIOS is up-to-date(Z390 and HEDT are known for having poorly written.

Hi! I’ve had my hackintosh since April and it’s been running great. But recently it has been taking a long time to boot up and into the clover boot menu. I’ve had to restart my computer 3x to get it to boot into clover menu. I’m not really sure what could have happened My BIOS is all correctly set and have not made any changes to it. I’m just wondering what the cause could be?
I was thinking about doing a fresh install but the truth of the matter is I’m kind of scared of doing it because I’m struggling with short term memory loss due to medication and I can’t remember how we installed it in the first place haha! Plus I was planning on doing a fresh install for Catalina.
Anyone got any ideas what I can check to see what’s causing the problems? Or a simple walkthrough on how to do a fresh install?
I can upload my EFI folder upon request and anything else on request I’m just not at my computer at this moment in time.
Thanks for the help in advance! And sorry if this doesn’t make sense!

Available only on Mac computers that have the Apple T2 Security Chip, Startup Security Utility offers three features to help secure your Mac against unauthorized access: Firmware password protection, Secure Boot, and External Boot.

To open Startup Security Utility:

  1. Turn on your Mac, then press and hold Command (⌘)-R immediately after you see the Apple logo. Your Mac starts up from macOS Recovery.
  2. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Startup Security Utility from the menu bar.
  3. When you're asked to authenticate, click Enter macOS Password, then choose an administrator account and enter its password.

Firmware password protection

Use a firmware password to prevent anyone who doesn't have the password from starting up from a disk other than your designated startup disk. To set a firmware password, click Turn On Firmware Password, then follow the onscreen instructions. Learn more about firmware passwords.

You can also use External Boot to prevent even those who know the firmware password from starting up from external media.

Secure Boot

Use this feature to make sure that your Mac starts up only from a legitimate, trusted operating system. Learn more about Secure Boot.

External Boot

Use this feature to control whether your Mac can start up from an external hard drive, thumb drive, or other external media. The default and most secure setting is ”Disallow booting from external media.” When this setting is selected, your Mac can't be made to start up from any external media:

  • Startup Disk preferences displays a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk.
  • Startup Manager allows you to select an external startup disk, but doing so causes your Mac to restart to a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk. You'll then have the option to restart from your current startup disk or select another startup disk.

To allow your Mac to use an external startup disk:
