And hence this question, how do I chainload the Clover/OC EFI file from the Windows Boot Manager menu? No way that I know of, you need to use another bootloader first, OC/Clover must come first. (Adding OpenCore via BCDEdit has always borked my Windows installs.) rEFInd will do this, but you need to mount your EFI (ESP) in windows with read/write, and swap bootloaders. This requires a whole bunch of steps using diskutil, or a 3rd party equivalent, explorer++ (as Administrator).

Just a heads up, I currently use Explorer++ to do this function for my role at work. TBH that app is pretty ancient compared to this new file manager but it works for my purposes.

Launch a 3rd party file explorer (or cmd) as TrustedInstaller and you will be able to replace/modify the templates.

Download this: https://explorerplusplus.com/, extract it to your desktop, right click on it and run it as admin. Then through this program try to access the files that are giving you permission errors.

Btw if you need to launch a file explorer with TrustedInstaller rights you can use 7-Zip or something like Explorer++ since the default explorer can't be (easily) launched with TrustedInstaller rights.

QTTabBar or you could switch to Explorer++.

Try something like Explorer++.

Not with the default explorer. However you could get Explorer++ and use that for when you want to see all files. It also has tabs many other useful features.

It's possible adding Explorer++ might work.

Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.

I've used this script for every new install of Windows and it makes the experience quite a bit better: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater .

17k stars on GitHub so lots of people agree.

if you wanna go even further in getting the most out of your laptop you can use this debloating tool to get rid of the extra stuff Microsoft puts into windows that youll never use.
