Hello,

We are seeing an issue with security preferences that it is has an error when trying launch security preferences to allow system extension or kext .

We have tried deleting these plists
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences*
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systempreferences*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.systempreferences*
But didn't help.

This is happening on beta7 on Intel systems and also on Developer Transition Kit too.

Looks like it's fixed in Beta 9! Google Drive File Stream installs and Security & Privacy doesn't crash allowing me to allow it.

I did a number of these things, but there's only one thing that seemed to fixed it. I ran a first aid on the external hard drive that I am using for the startup disk. After I did that, system preferences opened.
