I can't install this plugin on OS 12 Monterey.. I'm trying to install the plugin cause my issue is: I have a new ssd in my MBP early 2015, now when it goes in sleep mode, the mac is not able to wake up anymore and a (?) folder icon appears, thus I've to force the switch off (holding Power button). Anyone as a suggestion to fix this? Or to make it work properly or to prevent sleep mode. Tnx
