Paragon driver can't mount NTFS after upgrading to Big Sur

Until Big Sur, my 2020 Macbook Air running Catalina reads and writes to my Seagate hard drive through the Paragon driver without any issues. The Mac Mini I recently bought runs Big Sur, and it won't even mount the NTFS drive or let you download the necessary driver. I've found that the only way to fix the disk is to reformat it to EXFAT, but I'm not ready to wipe all of the data just yet. I read on techies.com and Reddit that many people in Big Sur are experiencing this issue, but the coding changes they suggested would work in Terminal did not resolve the issue. Any advice?

If you find the previously installed NTFS for Mac driver not working after upgrading macOS, it could be the software developer hasn't updated the NTFS for Mac driver to make it compatible with the latest macOS update. 

When the NTFS driver not working on Mac, and you don't want to format the drive to make it writable on Mac, you can wait for Paragon to update the software to be compatible with the latest macOS, or, you can switch to another NTFS driver for Mac such as iBoysoft NTFS for Mac, it always keeps updated to be available on the latest macOS, supports macOS Sonoma - macOS High Sierra, works on both Intel-based Macs and Apple silicon Macs.
