Apps with extensions that won't work after Catalina
Why doesn't my Mac tell me which apps that I have are causing this message so that I know which developers to contact?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Start by deleting the three HP .kext files. You certainly don't need them, even if you are using an HP printer.
AppleMobileDevice is old and not used any more. It will probably be removed in the next macOS upgrade anyway. Leave it alone for now.
I don't know what SSIODriver is, but perhaps someone else does.

The reason is that a number of different products from different developers can use the same Extensions.
Determine which extensions are installed on your Mac, and then post them in a reply. They are located at /Library/Extensions/
Someone here is likely to help you identify the product using them.
Refer to the following Discussion: Legacy System Extensions

These ten are installed by macOS Catalina by default:

ATTOExpressSASHBA2.kext
ATTOExpressSASRAID2.kext
CalDigitHDProDrv.kext
HighPointIOP.kext
HighPointRR.kext

Describe the additional Extensions you installed on that Mac.
AppleMobileDevice.kext
DuetDisplay.kext
hp_fax_io.kext
hp_inkjet3_io_enabler.kext
hp_io_enabler_compound.kext
SSIODriver.kext
Thanks a lot. Big help. You did not mention the DuetDriver. Thanks again.
I meant DuetDisplay.
I overlooked that one but I believe it's an Apple .kext anyway. You can leave it alone also.
