Sorry, I was assuming Big Sur, which has this problem commonly.

Catalina has different issues for loading drivers. Attach A SoftRAID technical support file, so I can take a look.

that means the driver is not loaded at all.

That’s good. :-)

Did you "Allow" OWC as an identified developer in System Preferences/Security?

Where in Catalina can I put OWC as a identified developer? I can only allow app downloads from verified developers or only from app store.

If you did, then you can manually load the driver, which should work. Paste this command into the terminal.app:

I prefer to quit SoftRAID from the tools menu. But there is no menu entry to quit the software.

sudo kmutil load -p /Library/Extensions/SoftRAID.kext

sudo: kmutil: command not found

I hoped I can unload the driver with the kmutil command, but this command is not available in Catalina.

Is there a reason you are not updating to 5.8.4?

Yes, I don’t want to deactivate save boot. Actual I only need SoftRAID for certifying new hard drives.

Posted by: @softraid-support

I do not know why you are getting the update notice. You can try changing the setting, restarting, then set to Never again.

Now it is gone. Even the icon in the menu bar is gone. So it’s like before. I don’t know what exactly caused it.

Today I got again the Reminder. The „search for new version“ is off, but the update reminder pops up.

Its possible the Monitor is crashing, or the setting was not holding. Let me know if this continues.

Whereas – today I restarted my computer and still had no update reminder. Maybe that was just a bug.
