Boot Camp Assistant Partition Slider with VoiceOver in Big Sur

By Chris, 24 December, 2020

macOS and Mac Apps

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Windows with Bootcamp Assistant in macOS Big Sur. However, VoiceOver isn't reading the slider to adjust the amount of disk space that will be used for each system. All I have is the text and the install button. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm pretty sure this is a bug, because Big Sur was cleanly installed a few days ago.

same here

I'm having this same issue as well and yes, I don't have anything running but a clean install of 10.11. This is really retarded as I was hoping to do this stuff on my own, but it looks like I can't right now. I honestly wish I could do this with command line, then I we wouldn't have such said issues. Maybe I can, but that would create all sort of problems that I really don't wanna have to deal with.

Any solution or work around?

This is bullshit. I'm exhausted reporting bugs to apple accessibility. This is not a new feature, it should be rock solid... Anyway, sorry for the vent...

Is there any work around yet?

In Catalina it used to work marvelously. Now look what happened...I'm actually quite amazingly frustrated right now as I'm trying to reinstall with a resized partition.

Ugh, Apple!

Same problem here, even on Ventura

Hey, I have the exact same problem. I've upgraded to ventura to see if Apple resolved the problem but it still exists, so unfortunately no work-around here.

You'll have to perform the steps manually

It's really not ideal because ultimately it's not the same, especially on newer Macs where BootCamp Assistant among other things embeds the driver for the disk controller into boot.wim in order to make it possible for Windows to be installed. But, yes, if you format a USB stick with ExFAT, use the Actions menu to download the support software onto it, copy the Windows ISO contents onto it, then use Disk Utility to repartition your internal disk to create another ExPAT partition that the windows installer can then reformat, boot your system into the USB installer, load the drivers during setup, select that new partition, and finally install Windows, you can achieve the same effect. Since you're here, you might as well question whether it might not be altogether more satisfying to just blow macOS away completely, now you have the option. But that's up to you.

It's still bullshit. Bug? A very unfortunate "bug", preventing you from leaving your prison cell ...
