shut down your Mac. Then hold Command+R on boot after pressing the power button till you see the Apple logo and progress bar. Then at the macOS Utilities screen on top click Utilities>Terminal and type csrutil enable.

after that close terminal and reboot into your normal macOS system. SIP is now enabled.

Thank you so kindly for assisting me. On reboot, the Mac OS Utility user interface unfortunately doesn't seem to offer the Utilities>Terminal option. I'll make a backup of my Mac first and then try again. If I'm not successful at the second attempt I'll take a photo of the current Mac OS Utility Screen to show you what I mean.


Thanks again!
