Undated task imported as-is. Update from Amit screenshot on 2026-06-30 — Paragon NTFS / permissions: - Paragon NTFS was installed on February 20, 2026. - Loaded kext: com.paragon-software.filesystems.ntfs. - LaunchDaemon is configured to load /Library/Extensions/ufsd_NTFS.kext at boot. - Risk is not that SIP is off; issue is an expired/no-longer-useful third-party filesystem kernel extension still installed/loading. - Paragon says the Apple Silicon driver requires Reduced Security to load; switching back to Full Security should stop the product from working. - Best path: uninstall Paragon NTFS using its own uninstaller, then reboot. - GUI path: open NTFS for Mac.app → Preferences/Settings → Uninstall. - Screenshot also shows a terminal uninstall command under /Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/..., but the command is truncated in the photo; do not rely on the visible partial command without re-checking. - After uninstall/reboot, when convenient, check Startup Security Utility: shut down → hold power until startup options → Options → Utilities → Startup Security Utility → select startup disk → Security Policy → if on Reduced Security, switch back to Full Security. - Avoid manual file deletion, disabling SIP, or keychain/security commands. Clean version: Paragon uninstaller, reboot, then Full Security if it was reduced.
