Known Issue: macOS Tahoe 26.6 Triggers SentinelOne False Positives

Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.6 on July 27, 2026. Since then, MSPs have reported that SentinelOne’s Static AI engine is flagging legitimate macOS system processes — including mds, SystemUIServer, loginwindow, and the App Store — as malware on machines running the new build, causing system instability on affected endpoints.

SentinelOne has confirmed the issue and is working on a multi-stage fix, including a global exclusion of the affected hashes, a Live Security Update, and a permanent fix in an upcoming agent release.

If you manage Macs with SentinelOne: hold off on deploying macOS Tahoe 26.6 until this is resolved. If devices have already updated, see the KB article for the current recommended mitigation.
