I think you can just change the Enabled setting to
<false/>.Is that the same as the WriteFlash setting which I have set to false?
Why make it non-volatile if OpenCore is going to set it again anyway the next time it boots? It doesn't need to modify nvram to have the OS see the variable setting.
You're right. In the OCLP changelog the entry from 24 Dec shows according changes to build.py, cli_menu.py and gui_main.py.

Yes my late 2014 iMac kept getting it, and I’m like “v funny Apple, eff off”
A similar machine, MBP11,1 13" late 2013 didn't get Monterey notifications when running 11.6.x.
Yesterday installed 12.2.1 on it from InstallAssistant.pkg with OCLP 0.4.2, very smooth. On an external SSD for now, which got a data clone of the internal SSD with CCC before installing.
Not my machine but I'm responsible for it. It is a model which would have been bricked by an early upgrade to Big Sur; maybe Apple introduced a special handling/cure for these.

Noticing a few more graphical issues. Nothing major but slight annoyances.
Sliders are off in control center
Right clicking anything in the dock leaves a box under the menu
Icons missing in random settings areas like Accessibility
Nothing major, but maybe somebody has had something similar and fixed somehow? Performance wise 100% flawless (knocks on wood) so far.

Hi All
Im new here so apologies for this if this isn't the correct place.
I have asked on a number of forums for an answer to this problem and followed advice but nothing has worked...
If this is the wrong place to ask please direct me to the appropriate one. Ive looked on the Discord Server for OCLP and asked there and Instagram.
I'm trying to install Monterey 12.2.1 onto a Macbook Pro 9,2 mid 2012 following the Mr Macintosh guide and OCPL 0.4.2 gui version. I have two new SSD drives one is running supported version of Catalina and the other is blank and ready for Monterey. I have used OCLP to create the installer. All goes well the system reboots a couple of times then gets to the point where I would expect the assistant to start the setup. Just as I'm expecting the installer assistant to take me to Language I get the following error message "BaseSystem.dmg" could not be copied to 5BBE4E6C-DADD-45E3-9A83-7997CCD48031.
searching on the web doesn't give me an answer.
I tried to do the update on this machine to Big Sur first got the same error message, the 12.2 and 12.2.1.
MBP 9,2 i5 13" 16Gb, 2 500GB SSD

What is the container size for Monterey?
Can you give, from the terminal, the returns by copy/pasting text of the command:
Code:
diskutil listI installed 2 drives one in the HDD bay and one by replacing the superdrive.
One has a supported version of Catalina on it. I'm trying to install Monterey on the second one.
I've erased and formatted it from Catalina and from the recovery screen on Monterey install. Neither works...
What has happened since I posted is that another attempt got to the recovery install screen and suggested 28 minutes remaining. That took most of the 28 minutes before rebooting. If I remember correctly that has not been the case previously. That 28 minutes has quickly been reduced to 10!
I'm assuming some failure in the copying process?

First, thanks to @khronokernel and all the other developers for their work on this project.
Except for two things, I pretty much haven't had any problems with any of the macOS Monterey or Big Sur betas on my 10,1 MBPr.
I installed a BCM94360CSAX Airport card and I noticed that my Wi-Fi speeds are in the 2-4 Mbps range. I have a Windows partition on the same computer where I get 15-20 Mbps on Wi-Fi.
When I build OpenCore, I see:
Found Wireless Device 14E4:43A0
Adding AirportBrcmFixup.kext 2.1.3
When I tried building OpenCore for a MacBookPro11,2 I see the same kext.
Should I be using a different Wi-Fi kext or is there another issue?
The other issue is when I try to connect the mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort on my external display, I get a black screen. I didn't find much discussion except for post 2481.
Thanks for any help.

Download the latest OCLP version and rebuild/reinstall OC whenever you change the hardware.
Depending on the used spoofing level (minimal) you can try to add to the boot-args
agdpmod=vit9696.You surely do not use OCLP 0.0.9 any longer?
Macbook Pro 15 Retina Late-2012 model. Was running perfectly fine on 12.2 with OCLP installed. Upgraded to newest MacOS update 12.2.1, ran "Build and Install OpenCore" and then "Post Install Root Patch" and then restarted and now the display is something like this... any advice other than doing a fresh install? Thank you

Thanks @Ausdauersportler. I always check to see that I am using the latest version of OCLP when there is a new beta. I used OpenCore 0.4.2 when I did the latest update to 12.3 beta 3 (21E5212f).
I will try agdpmod=vit9696 in the boot-args.
So after reading more of the ref doc to fix Broken Background Blurs, I was able to fix 2 of my graphic issues.
- Mouse hover issue is no longer there, even after re-enabling transparency.
- Right-click box is no longer present.
I went with the recommended 30px, looks good so I'm not messing with it.
New issue is, since applying this, My Clock has turned invert
Update:
So I thought there was a bug. I replicated it by Option click the time. But this is a shortcut to enable and disable Focus. Focus is what's causing the time to Dim. Is that a feature? Regardless, I enabled to show the Focus icon in the menu bar. Now it doesn't matter if it's on or off. Color remains unchanged.

Update went along as normal now have a big sur partition on drive no problems at all updating both runs perfectly as far as I can tell using OCLP 0.4.3
Hi, I'd like to install Monterey on a late 2011 15-inch MBP (Macbook Pro 8,2) with the HD3000/Radeon 6750M GPU's.
2.2 Ghz i7, 16 GB RAM, both GPU's still working (I'd really like to restrict to the Intel iGPU though - is gfxcardstatus working on Monterey?) and I'd be getting a brand new SSD to set this up.
Does anybody have experience with this setup?

Oh sweet! I mean I found the work around, but having to not do it would be ideal for sure.Apparently these will be fixed in the upcoming 0.4.3 release of OCLP
[RESOLVED] So, this strange issues was resovled by creating a new administrator user. I have no idea why it happened. But now the macbook is running perfectly on 12.2.1. Thanks
