A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component that ships as part of Paragon Software's extFS for Mac product — it does not update independently. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build, launch the parent extFS for Mac application and check for updates through its built-in update mechanism or visit Paragon Software's website to download the latest version. The native build will replace the Intel version, including this helper agent, automatically during installation.
