Tuxera NTFS could not mount /dev/disk3s1

I can't get Paragon or Tuxera NTFS to work on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.6. Whenever I get to the Tuxera pref pane, it asks me to approve its kernel extension in Security & Privacy. However, there's no “Allow” button there. I also encountered an error reading "Tuxera NTFS could not mount /dev/disk3s1." I've tried Paragon NTFS to no avail. I am able to mount my NTFS HDD using both Paragon and Tuxera when SIP is disabled but I really don't want to disable SIP to mount my NTFS drive on Mac. Any solutions?

The error "Tuxera NTFS could not mount /dev/disk3s1" seems to result from the failure of loading the required kext file. To mount your NTFS-formatted HDD on Mac, try iBoysoft NTFS for Mac instead.

It's an advanced NTFS for Mac driver that powers you to read and write to NTFS drives on Mac. With it, you can access, edit, delete, and transfer files to NTFS drives on Mac like you would with any native macOS drives. It also mounts your drive automatically, saving you the trouble to relaunch the software after a reboot.

Free download iBoysoft NTFS for Mac from the button below, install it, then you can start to access your NTFS drives on Mac freely.

It's also recommended to uninstall Tuxera as it doesn't work well with your Mac. You can find the instruction on its website or from the guide below.
