MacOS Monterey won't mount any disk images or external drives.
Having an issue with Monterey since my internal SDD failed and I installed it on an external SSD.
Previous OS versions all work fine. Issue only appears when I update to Monterey.
When I update to Monterey, no disk images or DMG files will mount, my SD card will not mount and no USB drives will mount.
All the USB drives and SD cards are fully working, they all show in system report as being detected even with a 'disk' number assigned to them, they do not show up at all in disk utility.
I can mount Disk images via terminal and this works fine, I however cannot do this for the external drives.
My bluetooth also doesn't work for about ten minutes after startup, I have reinstalled Monterey and have the same exact issue, no issue on previous versions of the OS.
Searching I can see people with similar types of issues but no solutions that I can find. I did not have this issue before I had to run via an external SSD, but everything else is working perfectly (Using it now).
