2 years ago If Windows' boot loader sits inside the same EFI partition as OpenCore, this will happen. You can create a separate EFI partition for OpenCore to avoid this:
However this is the logic of your MacBook's firmware, and can only really be remedied via a dedicated partition for OpenCore. For uninstalling OC from that EFI partition, see here:
Once removed, just make a new FAT32 partition and install OpenCore onto there

What is the Issue?
Hi,
On a Macbook Pro 15 Late 2013, after updating from Big sur 11.6.2 to Monterey 12.2.1 using a USB stick and latest stable OCLP 0.4.2, I tried installing OpenCore onto the internal drive EFI partition so i can boot without a USB stick.
At the last guide step, after installing OC to the internal drive and rebooting, while keeping Option pressed at boot time, I see two boot entries: 1) macOS 2) Windows with an OpenCore item.
Choosing the first one fails to boot with the do not park sign (expected I believe). Choosing Windows, properly boots macOS via OpenCore.
I had a bootcamp partition installed before OpenCore, and it is still accessible if I keep ESC pressed while choosing the OpenCore entry (via the faulty 'Windows' boot entry).
Is there a way to rename the boot entry to OpenCore, or something other than Windows?
