I am hopeful someone will be able to help me solve this issue, thanks in advance. Over the weekend, I attempted to install Catalina 10.15.6 on my NUC Skull Canyon, OpenCore 0.5.9. After following great tutorial by Alex Porter on GitHub, I ended up with the NUC being stuck on Apple logo during the initial install. There were few issues that came up during verbose boot, anyway I raised the issue and abandoned the project for time being.
Subsequently, I tried to reinstall Windows 10 on the same SSD - used the W10 install USB to format the primary install partition. However, even though I did new install on the freshly formatted partition SSD, Windows will not boot normally UNLESS the original OpenCore installation USB is inserted in the machine. During this instance, the PC finds the USB Catalina/OpenCore EFI (I am guessing) and loads the OC boot manager that then lets me select Windows 10. Also, the SSD shows in boot manager as UEFI drive, but the NUC will not recognize it as bootable. When I go this route, Windows function normally, so this is clearly the way the machine handless the original boot.
I even took the SSD out, installed it in different PC and completely erased it (removed ALL partitions etc.) and reinstalled Windows 10 again, yet it made no difference (unless I did something wrong). I spend half of my day trying to find the solution and just can't figure it out.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!!!!
