This quirk forces Intel CPUs to run at maximum speed at all times, potentially increasing performance and reducing CPU lifespan slightly. Does not apply to AMD CPUs. | +| CustomPciSerialDevice | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This quirk allows control over how the macOS kernel interacts with serial ports and can be ignored by most users. | +| CustomSMBIOSGuid | Boolean | True | Recommended set True. When used together with the PlatformInfo quirk `UpdateSMBIOSMode` set as Custom, it allows booting of Windows through OpenCore's bootpicker without the risk of losing Windows activation. Can break Bootcamp functionality on genuine Macs. | +| DisableIoMapper | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This setting controls part of Intel virtualisation technologies in the macOS kernel. Does not apply to AMD. | +| DisableIoMapperMapping | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This setting works around some issues with Intel virtualisation in specific circumstances. Does not apply to AMD. | +| DisableLinkeditJettison | Boolean | True | Should be set True. Helps Lilu.kext and possibly other kexts work properly without `keepsyms=1` in your boot-args. | +| DisableRtcChecksum | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This quirk can fix issues when rebooting or shutting down from macOS, where the system resets or starts back up into Safe Mode. | +| ExtendBTFeatureFlags | Boolean | False | Should be set False to start with. This quirk can force enable some Bluetooth functionality in macOS. This is not required for all Bluetooth adapters. You will need to research your particular adapter to see if this is required. | +| ExternalDiskIcons | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This is a workaround to force drive icons for AHCI disks to appear as internal. It does not actually make macOS see those drives as internal, and a DeviceProperties entry should be used instead if internal SATA drives are shown as removable in macOS. | +| ForceAquantiaEthernet | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This quirk is used to re-enable support for specific Aquantia 10GbE network adapters on Intel systems. Other methods are used to enable these network adapters for AMD based systems. | +| ForceSecureBootScheme | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This is used when macOS is running as a virtual machine in certain instances. Most users can ignore this. | +| IncreasePciBarSize | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This is a workaround for certain firmwares that do not behave correctly with PCI BARs. Does not apply to most users. | +| LapicKernelPanic | Boolean | False | A workaround for kernel panics related to LAPIC. Enable this quirk if you experience those. | +| LegacyCommpage | Boolean | False | Should be set False. This is a workaround for old versions of macOS when used with old CPUs lacking certain features. | +| PanicNoKextDump | Boolean | False | Recommended set False. This quirk prevents full kernel extension information from being included in kernel panic logs. | +| PowerTimeoutKernelPanic | Boolean | False | Recommended set False. This is a workaround for misbehaving devices that would otherwise trip the power change timeout detection and kernel panic introduced in macOS 10.15 Catalina. | +| ProvideCurrentCpuInfo | Boolean | True | MUST be set True for AMD systems and boot will fail without it. Required by the necessary AMD Vanilla kernel patches. | +| SetApfsTrimTimeout | Number | 0 | Recommended set `0`. This controls the trim behaviour for APFS drives during macOS boot. How you should set this will depend on what SSDs you have, with only WD or SanDisk branded SSDs recommended to set this `-1` to enable boot-time trim. | +| ThirdPartyDrives | Boolean | False | Recommended set False. This quirk forces activation of certain features such as SSD trim and hibernation on non-Apple drives. If these features are desired, they can be enabled with other more recommended methods. | +| XhciPortLimit | Boolean | False | MUST be set False. A workaround for older versions of macOS to assist in USB mapping that will cause instability in modern macOS. Current methods of USB mapping do not require this. |

See Configuration.pdf for details. | +| HibernateMode | String | `None` | Sets which mode OpenCore's hibernation detection should operate in. | +| HibernateSkipsPicker | Boolean | False | When set True, this tells OpenCore to not show its boot picker when waking macOS from hibernation. See Configuration.pdf for details. | +| HideAuxiliary | Boolean | False | Recommended set False. When set True, this will hide certain entries from being initially displayed in the boot picker. Pressing Spacebar will show all detected entries. During initial setup this should be False as to not hide important entries. | +| InstanceIdentifier | String | | This allows you to set a unique identifier for different instances of OpenCore. Its purpose and usage is explained in Configuration.pdf | +| LauncherOption | String | `Full` | This controls how OpenCore asks the system firmware to create a boot entry for itself. The Full option will work for most users. For detailed information and other possible settings, see Configuration.pdf | +| LauncherPath | String | `Default` | Should be set to the word `Default`. This setting is used to set the path to any custom bootloader in use for OpenCore. Most users do not need to change this. | +| PickerAttributes | Number | `17` | Recommended set to `17`. OpenCore has various options available for the boot picker, which this setting controls. This setting takes a bitmask made up of various attributes which are explained in Configuration.pdf. In this case, `17` translates to enabling loading icons from macOS volumes to show macOS logos in a graphical boot picker, and enables cursor control. | +| PickerAudioAssist | Boolean | False | When set True, this enabled the boot picker screen reader feature of OpenCore. For this to work, the audio resources must be present in OpenCore's EFI folder and boot picker UEFI audio support enabled. | +| PickerMode | String | Builtin | This setting controls which boot picker mode OpenCore will attempt to use by default. `Builtin` is a text based list of boot options. When set to `External` it allows the use of other boot pickers that allow graphics and other features. This will be covered in more detail later on in this guide. | +| PickerVariant | String | `Auto` | This setting determines the icon set used for the boot picker. Has no effect if there are no icon resources or external boot picker available. | +| PollAppleHotKeys | Boolean | True | Recommended set True. This setting makes certain hotkey combinations easier to use from the OpenCore boot picker. See Configuration.pdf for details. | +| ShowPicker | Boolean | True | Should be set True. When set False, this setting hides the boot picker completely and OpenCore will instead automatically boot whichever boot option is set as the default. | +| TakeoffDelay | Number | `0` | This setting adds a delay, in microseconds, before OpenCore checks which hotkeys are pressed and starting the boot picker. This can make it easier to perform certain hotkey combinations. See Configuration.pdf for further information. | +| Timeout | Number | 0 | Recommended set `0`. This is the time in seconds OpenCore should wait before automatically booting the default boot option. During initial setup this is recommended to be set to `0` to disable automatic booting. |
