External HDD Read Only issue on macOS Monterey

Since the macOS Monterey update I am not able to write my NTFS formatted External HDD. My user has the Read+Write right, but not works.



I checked also the my user, and I have an admin right.


I have Tuxera NTFS and NTFS for Mac. None of them could format it and make it work. Also tried Disk Utility Microsoft NTFS formatting. No success.


Does anybody else experience this since macOS Monterey update?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

You likely have to update the apps you are using to write to a NTFS formatted disk. Other had to update their apps for Monterey. Check the developers site for updates
