Cannot Load Intel Power Gadget Driver
I recently attempted to download Intel Power Gadget for my 2015 15" MacBook pro. After installing, I got the following error:
"The Power Gadget driver is not currently loaded. If you just installed the app, please load the driver by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and Allow the system software from "Intel Corporation Apps". Then restart your computer."
Unfortunately, upon going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, I realized I did not have an allow button.
At this point, I tried uninstalling intel power gadget, disabling Gatekeeper, allowing applications from anywhere, and re-downloading the software, but this produced no luck.
I then looked in System Information, and under disabled software saw the following:
Z3L495V9L4 - com.intel.driver.EnergyDriver:
Version: 3.5.5
Reason: No User Consent
Date Disabled: Unknown
Unfortunately, there is no way I am aware of to remove software from the disabled software category.
Since I saw that it was a consent issue, I disabled kext-consent in an attempt to lift the requirement (although I doubt this is the issue). This produced no luck.
I then considered that maybe it was my account, so I created a new admin login and redownloaded the software. Again, no luck.
I'm looking for a way to allow the power gadget driver to be loaded. Once again, please note:
I do not have an allow button, and despite uninstalling and reinstalling every step, I was unable to get this button to appear,
According to System Information, the software is under the Disabled Software category, which I don't know how to enable any software from.
If you have a solution to this problem, please let me know. Thanks!
