Section 1:
How to make Clover default bootloader after Installing Windows on UEFI.
C
yIf you installed windows on you Hackintosh and now you don’t have access to your macOS
banymore this guide will help you to get back the clover as the main bootloader.
e
r The reason that this is happening is because when you install windows after installing macOS the
dUEFI bootloader will change from:
e\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI (Clover bootloader)
vto
sPosted
\EF\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

So, in order to make clover the default bootloader again you need to edit the UEFI boot entries
and change the boot media file from “bootmgrfw.efi” to “BOOTX64.EFI” and here is how to do that.
I personally use BOOTICEx64 which is for 64Bit version of windows and if you use 32Bit version of
https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/326494-how-to-make-clover-default-bootloader-after-installing-windows-on-uefi/ 1/17
Windows you need to use the x86 version.

Original Download Source
Alternative download link.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Open BOOTICE and from the tabs on the top select “UEFI”
2. Click “Edit Boot Entries” button
3. From UEFI boot entries select “Windows Boot Manager”
4. From “Boot entry configurations” change “Menu Title” from “Windows Boot Manager” to
whatever name that you like, I changed mine to “macOS Sierra” because that’s the version of the
macOS that I have and from “Media file” change “\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi” to
“\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI” and finally select “Boot this entry next time”
Now save the new entries by clicking “Save current boot entry”
5. By clicking the “Save current boot entry” you will see the confirmation window. Click ok and
you’re done.
6. Now restart your computer and now you will see Clover’s boot menu and boot into macOS.
"Thanks to Pauly for BOOTICE"

Section 2:
Here’s how to create a custom entry to rename the Boot Microsoft EFI Boot from EFI to "Windows
10"
1. Open clover configurator and select GUI
2. Click the + sign to add a new Boot entry.
3. From the Volume drop down menu select the EFI partition that has the “Microsoft” boot files. In
my case it is the EFI (disk2)
4. Add your desired name for the new custom entry like “Windows 10” or whatever you like, Click
the “Title / FullTitle” check box.
Select the type of the Operating system that you are creating the custom entry for which again in
this case it is Windows and then select the volume type which is an internal disk in this case.
5. Save you settings and reboot. If you have done exactly as instructed here then you will see the
new entry in the clover’s boot menu.
To easily hide unwanted partitions in clover's boot menu without having to create the custom
entries using clover configurator see this post.

You need to select the ESP/EFI partition and choose "Assign Drive Letter" then it will be mounted
and you can open it in "My Computer" or "This PC".
Is that what you are looking for?

Very powerful and useful tool. I've also used it to install legacy Clover in Windows but prefer
EasyUEFI to manage my UEFI entries in Windows .
@luky35,
Find out the partition UUID of your Windows 10 EFI volume with diskutil info command eg
 Reveal hidden contents
then create a custom entry for it in GUI section of config.plist (put what you want to display on
screen under "Title" or "FullTitle"). Clover configurator makes it easier....

have been using EasyUEFI but there was a problem with using it on Windows 10 Enterprise

which it wasn't supported if I recall correctly; and ever since I found this little app (BootICE)

You can use clover configurator to easily hide the partitions that you don't what to see on your

2. On the top right corner you'll see a box called "Hide Volume", all you have to do is to click on the
+ sign to add a new entry. The entry you add must be exactly the same as the name of the
partition that you want to hide. For example if you want to hide the recovery partition of your
macOS you need to add "Recovery HD" and save the config. By adding this entry the "Recovery
HD" will be hidden on clover's boot menu, remember if you have more than one version of macOS
installed on you hackintosh all recovery partitions will be hidden.
Cheers.

@cyberdevs hi,
This is great, only I can not change the subtitles for Preboot and Recovery, so I'm waiting for what
@ fusion71au will say.
