                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I had previously installed the latest version with Secure Boot disabled. It showed that I was running the correct version of the driver. I did notice that SoftRAID was not starting at login like before so I added it to the Login Items under Security and Privacy. After doing that and restarting the Mac running Catalina, it then asked to update the driver again for some reason. Since then, I now see the blue dot (SoftRAID Monitor) in Catalina.

Note that I also updated to version 5.8.1 on another Mac still running Mojave. The SoftRAID Monitor blue dot also disappeared there even though the Mac is running 5.8.1 and the option to display the SoftRAID Monitor in the status menu is checked (turned on). I just uninstalled and reinstalled version 5.8.1 in Mojave, enabled it to start at login, restarted and the SoftRAID Monitor blue dot is still missing in Mojave...]]></content:encoded>
