System Extension error at startup [SOLVED]

Hello, for anyone who has been getting the dreaded "System Extension Error" on Ventura. it's a easy fix even though it doesnt seem like it, mostly because apple has never been good at explaining things to users or making important things stand out very much.


when you reboot your computer and get this error, you need to go to "system settings" then "security & privacy" on the right pane, scroll down until to see one box section that has an "allow" button.


NOTE: this is primary a Ventura error (bug) for Apple Silicon Macs. if your getting it on any previous macOS its gonna be a lot harder to get rid of since its not a simple since those macOS deal with system extensions differently (a)


(a) There are some things you could try if this isn't your issue (1) make sure macOS recovery startup options are set to low to allow kernel extension (just be warned some ketxs can conflict with macOS security and cause serious performance slow downs and hiccups) (2) you can use terminal to force reset all kexts.


HOW TO FIX:
