Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of FUSE 3.9.0.

What's new in this version:

- Starting with this release, FUSE for macOS will be notarized by Apple and the release disk image signed, in addition to the installer itself
- The hardened runtime is enabled for all binaries shipping with FUSE for macOS. Please make sure to disable third party library validation when enabling the hardened runtime for your file system binary, if you are using any FUSE libraries or frameworks
- Add support for mount option noautonotify. If the mount option noautonotify is present, FUSE will not post file system change notifications automatically, in case remote changes are detected
- Invalidate file attributes after renaming files. An invalidate is required because the file's atime changes due to the rename. Without invalidating, stat(2) calls might return a wrong atime. For details see #568 and osxfuse/kext#12
- Drop support for Objective-C Bridges for the FUSE framework
