Upgrading to a new macFUSE version
To upgrade to a new macFUSE version, go to:
System Settings → macFUSE → Check for updates → Click on update
On macOS 12 and older the pane lives under System Preferences. After the upgrade, macOS asks you to allow the new system extension again under Privacy & Security and may ask for a restart, as in the installation steps.
If you have an old macFUSE version already running on your machine and are upgrading to a new macFUSE version, you may encounter the following error:
/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs/Contents/Resources/load_macfuse' failed to load macfuse kernel module
To solve this, you can either restart your machine or run the following steps to manually switch to the new macFUSE version.
Unmount all your FUSE mounts
Unload the old macFUSE
$ sudo kmutil unload -b com.github.macfuse.filesystems.macfuse
On macOS 10.15 and older use sudo kextunload -b com.github.macfuse.filesystems.macfuse instead.
You can now remount your FUSE filesystems
