System Extension Gets Blocked But There Is No Allow Button In System Settings

I installed BlueStacks but when loading in it said that the system extension was blocked, but when I entered security and privacy and then general the allow button was not there. What can I do to solve this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

System Extension Gets Blocked But There Is No Allow Button In System Settings I installed BlueStacks into my computer and opened it. When it asked me to allow an extension it needed in order for it to be used, I went to system preferences to allow the extension but it wasn't there. This same thing also happened for malware bytes and a few other things and I couldn't figure it out. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be very appreciated. Thanks!

system extension blocked but no way to allow it So i am trying to install bluestacks android emulator, and everything is fine until i get to about 90% finished in the first start up of the app. I get a message saying 'system extention blocked please go to security and privacy settings to allow the extension" so i go over to securrity and privacy settings and there is no message or button to allow the system extension. I have tried many different ways to get it to work but none of them work. Thanks

App might not be usable because of blocked system extension, but cannot allow it Hello guys, I have a new MacBook Pro with M1 chip and the newest Big Sur software. I wanted to use the MacBook for work, that is why I wanted to install our VPN client to use our network. We use Barracuda VPN. I already installed it on some other MacBooks, where it always worked. In the installation process it says that a system extension is blocked and that I have to allow it. But when I install the client and go to "System Preferences..." > "Security & Privary", in the "General" tab there should be the blocked extension with a button to allow it. It does not stand in there. With the other MacBooks I installed (all "older" variants), I did not have this problem and it was easily possible, to allow it. Do you have any ideas, why this is like it is and are there maybe any other possibilities, where I can see blocked system extensions and allow them? I really appreciate your help! All stay safe and healthy, Thanks, Tim :)

Do they have a version compatible with Big Sur?

The legacy kernel extensions don't work with Big Sur. The developer needs to update it to work with Big Sur.
