The only recommendation I have from VMware is to disable SIP. We tried several things, including copying the kext files into the system extensions directory. I also did a restore of High Sierra, have uninstalled VMware 10.0.1 (and remove all preferences and cache files) and reinstalled several times. The message, regarding the blocked Vmware extension is still displayed. I would recommend waiting until 10.13.1 or 10.13.2 to see if the issue gets fixed, and then undoing this fix by repeating the same steps, but typing spctl kext-consent enable instead.įor more information, see the following website: User Approved Kernel Extension Loading Pikes Universum. You will no longer see the notification panes telling you a Kernel Extension was blocked they will all be automatically allowed, just as they were in macOS 10.12. You should see: Kernel Extension User Consent: DISABLED Please restart for changes to take effect. Type the following: spctl kext-consent disable then press Return. If you look at the top of the screen, where the Apple menu would ordinarily be, you will see a Utilities drop-down menu.Ī window will open up that allows you to type text-based terminal commands.

On my machine, I had to hold command-R for quite a while, at least 60 seconds.Įventually you will see a screen that gives you a couple of options, including reinstalling or running Disk Utility. It isnt a great workaround, security-wise, but it does get you back to the behavior of macOS 10.12.īasically, you can turn off the security feature requiring user approval of Kernel Extensions.įirst, boot into Recovery Mode by rebooting and pressing and holding command-R as soon as you see the Apple logo.

Which allows some additional controls to my mouse gestures, I had to disable this in order for the system to recognize the click on the allow button.įind them by taking a screenshot, opening it in Preview and doing a selection from the upper left corner to the button. I would be grateful to anyone that has been able to resolve this. Same error message and still no option option to Allow the extension.


I have read that this was a known bug in the beta versions of High Sierra, but surely this was fixed before release I am also now getting exactly the same problem with my Symantec anti-virus. If you want to enable these extensions, open Security Privacy System Preferences The problem is that when I go to Security Privacy, there is no option to Allow the extension.
