Beginning with macOS 10.15, a system reboot is required in the following scenarios.

  • Installing the sensor for the first time on macOS 10.15+.
  • Installing or upgrading the sensor in KEXT mode on macOS 11.

Endpoints that require a reboot report that state on the Dashboard or Endpoints page; search for sensorStates:DRIVER_INIT_REBOOT_REQUIRED on the Endpoints page to find 10.15+ devices that are in bypass mode and require a reboot.
