How to Fix Surface Book 2 / OpenCore Big Sur - UHD 620 QE/CI Works, but only with external monitor

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
  2. Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
  3. Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Surface Book 2 / OpenCore Big Sur - UHD 620 QE/CI Works, but only with external monitor

Hey guys, after hours of researching I managed to inject (partially) my iGPU, and now QE/CI is fully working but only when my external monitor is connected. Btw, I'm using official Microsoft HDMI to USB-C adapter to connect my monitor. Main display is not working at all.

EFI I was using: https://github.com/Swung0x48/Dell-Latitude-7390-7490-Hackintosh-EFI/tree/Catalina-OpenCore

My specs:

CPU: i7-8650u

GPU: Intel UHD 620 (8086)

RAM: 16gb

Audio Codec: External Audio Card

Ethernet Card: AX88179 USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter

Wifi/BT Card: none.

What is not working:

  • iCloud
  • Wifi (it will never work)
  • Touchpad
  • Main display
  • bunch of other things (perhaps)
