An alternate method to approve our kernel extension (kext) for macOS 10.13 and later

Note: If you have a new Apple silicon (M1 or later)-based Mac, you will have to refer to a different set of instructions!

If you are having trouble loading the kernel extension (KEXT) for Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Tuxera, and you cannot approve the extension through the Security & Privacy-section in your System Preferences, you can try the following:

• Start macOS Recovery: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201314
• Unlock your boot volume by mounting it in Disk Utility (found in Utilities-menu)
• Open Terminal from the same Utilities-menu after mounting the volume.
• Type the following command into the Terminal-window, and press [enter]
  

  chroot /Volumes/'Macintosh HD'

  (change 'Macintosh HD' in the above command if you've renamed you boot volume to something else)

• Type the following command into the Terminal-window, and press [enter]
  

  spctl kext-consent add PPNVCC9Z68

• Restart your computer.

The above adds system-wide consent for extensions with our Team ID (which is PPNVCC9Z68) and should allow the NTFS extension to load.
