In system preferences, security and privacy, under general, there is the message 'some system software was blocked from loading'. Clicking 'allow' brings up a list showing Promise Technology Mobile Apps, Areca Technology Corporation, HighPoint Technologies Inc, ATTO Technology Inc, Accusys Inc, and Other World Computing. When you try to install McAfee LiveSafe Internet Security for Mac on macOS 10.13, also known as macOS High Sierra, the installation might fail with the following message: System Extension Blocked A program tried to load new extensions signed by McAfee, inc. Select McAfee LiveSafe. Oct 02, 2018 Re: VMware Fusion - System software from developer 'VMware, Inc.' Was blocked from loading gwr755 Sep 24, 2018 7:35 AM ( in response to danstratton ) I had that problem too (clicking the 'allow' button does nothing) and after much web searching, I ran across a post that suggested switching to another user (one that also has administrative rights). When installing an Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE) agent on a Mac with macOS High Sierra 10.13 you receive the notification System Extension Blocked System Extension Blocked A program tried to load new system extension(s) signed by 'Symantec'. I am running a Mac mini in a datacenter 5000 km from my location and I am using Remote Desktop to run and manage it. When I installed Google Drive File Stream it stopped working and I got the advice that I need to allow it run. But nothing happens when I click 'Allow'. Somebody told me it was because I use Remote Desktop (same with TeamViewer).
In our recent post titled macOS 10.13 High Sierra Significantly Improves DisplayLink Performance & Stability we talked about how the latest update to macOS improved behavior when using a DisplayLink product (such as the Plugable UD-ULTCDL docking station). To go with that, we wanted to take a moment to discuss the Gatekeeper security feature introduced back in OS X 10.7 which has gone through some changes in High Sierra that may affect installation of some 3rd party device drivers used in devices from Plugable and other device manufacturers. For Plugable, the issue will only impact our products which don’t have drivers already built-in to macOS, such as our USB Docking Stations, USB Graphics Adapters, and USB Ethernet Adapters. Essentially this issue can affect any extensions not developed by Apple. Thankfully if you encounter this, there’s a simple process to fix. Keep reading for additional information and instructions.
In macOS 10.13 High Sierra, when installing new software and extensions, Gatekeeper now requires users to manually approve any new third-party extension before the computer can load and make use of the extension that was installed. This is important as many devices rely on extensions to function properly, and in some circumstances it can look like the software to power a device was installed but the device still doesn’t work. When this happens, users will see the below message:
If you suspect Gatekeeper is preventing an extension from loading, follow the below steps:
Once an extension from a developer has been allowed, this makes the developer a ‘trusted’ source. Meaning that future extensions that are installed from the same developer should not be prevented by Gatekeeper from loading and should not need to have these steps repeated. However, software and extensions from other developers will encounter this same issue and you will need to follow these same steps.
For additional information on Gatekeeper and the behavior described in this post, check out the below Apple and DisplayLink support documents!
Feel free to share your experiences with High Sierra in the comments below, and if you’re having issues installing driver extensions for any of your Plugable products, please email [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help!

Unfortunately, due to changes in macOS 10.15 Catalina and support for third-party drivers, we are unable to continue support for macOS with our ASIX USB to Ethernet adapters (USB3-E1000, USBC-E1000, USB2-E1000, USB2-E100, USB2-OTGE100). Our USB3-HUB3ME and future USB to Ethernet adapters will use Realtek based chipsets that utilize drivers built into macOS.
