EFI Partition Not Hidden by Pattern Recognition BOOTx64.efi

[twlawrenceko]

Hello,

With the HideSelf option being removed in OpenCore, booting EFI is not hidden by itself by HideAuxiliary. This may due to Mac and Windows EFI boot loader all installed on the main OpenCore EFI drive.

As I believe this will not relate much to config.plist and log, therefore I will be providing information with particular setup that I may be missing.

Thanks,

It should be skipped as there is a marker in BOOTx64.efi if it belongs to OpenCore:

$ xxd -g 1 -l 128 /Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi

Note, that this behaviour is unique to EFI folder where OpenCore was booted from. Other volumes do not have the marker checked for performance reasons.
