Hello, somehow inspite of Terminal methods and USB refresh apps (for weeks, many man hours), macOS Monterey won't mount any external drives (it does mount the internal drives), now I plan to burn my older macOS (like High Sierra which has been the most stable macOS by far) installer as a...

Hello Apple and Mac friends. There seems to a major bug with macOS Monterey whereby it doesn't mount .dmg .iso and images when you double click it, it also doesn't mount the external volumes, like USB external drives or USB flashdrives. This wasn't a problem in Big Sur or Catalina. I'm using...
