Additionally if your macOS installation is recent, Spotlight starts creating a full disk index which can cause high CPU load, high temps and general slowness. It's recommended to keep the system running for few hours, once Spotlight has indexed the load will ease. A way to check whether it's caused by Spotlight is to open Activity Monitor, choosing "All Processes" from the "View" menu item to, then sorting by the CPU value to see if a process called ```mds_stores``` is using a lot of CPU resources.

However, if your system is being **really** slow and you have no transparency in Dock and menubar, this typically indicates that root patches are not installed and as such there is no acceleration. Make sure to install root patches to get proper drivers and functionality. Refer to [Applying post install volume patches](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches) and the [Troubleshooting](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html) section for more information.

These features have the potential to cause instability in many places and as such a decision has been made to disable them by default starting from OpenCore Legacy Patcher version 2.1.0. Mediaanalysisd is identified to mainly affect 3802-based* systems. If you want to enable these features at the risk of additional instability, you can do so in the OCLP settings and rebuilding OpenCore.

Many older Macs do not "officially" support UEFI Windows installations, leading to installation failures and strange behaviour, but OCLP can be used to prevent almost all of these issues.

When booting Windows with OpenCore, it's highly recommended to create a new 200MB **MS-DOS (FAT)** partition in Disk Utility to install OpenCore in. This will prevent Windows from overwriting OpenCore with its own bootloader in the EFI partition and causing boot issues.
