ENSM-680
10.6.0
As Designed
Issue: The user on the macOS system must approve the FileCore extension again to load on the system. The reason is because the earlier approval for com.intelsecurity.FileCore.kext isn’t valid for the renamed kext: com.McAfee.FileCore.kext.
Resolution: This behavior is as designed. The user has to open System Preferences, Security & Privacy and click Allow for the McAfee kernel extension to load on the system.

10.5.9
Issue: Editing a repository name on the Update preferences Repository List tab of the local client user interface adds a duplicate entry with the new name. But, it retains the repository entry with the older name.

Issue: The Repository List tab in the Update preferences of the local client user interface doesn’t list the Repository URL of the ePolicy Orchestrator Spipe repository.
10.5.7
As Designed
Issue: After you upgrade to ENSM 10.5.7, the file format of quarantined items changes to ZIP. As a result, if ENSM is reverted to a version earlier than 10.5.7, the restore from quarantine feature doesn’t work for files in the new format.
Resolution: This behavior is as designed. To restore quarantined items, manually extract the quarantined items using the "Archive Utility" application on the macOS system.

Issue: On a macOS system running ENSM 10.5.6 or later, installation of Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLP Endpoint) 11.1.0.45 downgrades certain common components used by ENSM.
Workaround: Install DLP Endpoint 11.1.0.45 before you install ENSM.
Resolution: This issue is resolved in DLP Endpoint 11.1.0 Hotfix 3.

10.5.5
As Designed
Issue: ENSM 10.5.0 Threat Prevention on-access scan detection stops working after you upgrade any other ENSM module, such as Firewall or Web Control, from 10.5.0 to 10.5.5.
Resolution: This behavior is as designed. When you upgrade to ENSM 10.5.5 from a previous version of the product, upgrade all modules of ENSM on the system.
Issue: Users see emails stuck in their outbox or slowness when they send emails using Apple Mail. This issue is experienced when ENSM Threat Prevention 10.5.0 is installed on macOS High Sierra running on an APFS partition. This issue doesn’t occur when On-Access Scan is turned off.
Resolution: This issue is resolved in ENSM Threat Prevention 10.5.0 Hotfix 1244068. See the related article for more information.
Issue: ENSM runs as a 32-bit application. When you start "McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac.app" for the first time on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later, you see the following alert. The alert notifies you that the ENSM application isn’t optimized for macOS.
"McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac" is not optimized for your Mac.
Workaround: The alert appears only once. It doesn’t impact the product functionality, so you can safely ignore the alert. For more information, see the Apple article at https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208436.
Resolution: This issue is resolved in ENSM 10.5.5, which has native 64-bit binaries. See the related article for more information.
