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 4.6.2.

What's new in this version:

- Perform FUSE_INIT handshake synchronously during mount(2) operation. When performing the handshake synchronously, we avoid hangs and we are able to error out of the mount process in case the handshake fails.
- We used to perform the handshake asynchronously. This has drawbacks and introduced several challenges. Most importantly, there is no guarantee the handshake will ever be completed by the file system daemon. This could result in lingering mount points.
- Performing the handshake synchronously makes initialization more robust
- Clean up kernel extension code
