NOTE: We are aware that after upgrading from macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier to macOS 10.15 Catalina with LCC (Logitech Control Center) versions 3.9.8 or below, some Logitech Unifying-based devices may stop working. This is a known issue on macOS 10.15 Catalina and we’re actively working with Apple to address it. In the meantime, please upgrade LCC to version 3.9.9 and if your device supports Bluetooth, use it to pair your device.

Logitech Control Center permission prompts on macOS Mojave
For official macOS Mojave support, please upgrade to latest version of LCC (3.9.7).
Starting with macOS Mojave (10.14), Apple has a new policy that requires user permission for Logitech Control Center (LCC) software to access the following features:
- One Touch Search needs Finder access
If a feature requires access to a specific item such as System Events or Finder, you will see a prompt, similar to the image below, the first time you use this feature. The prompt only appears once when requesting access for a specific item. If you deny access, any other features that need access to the same item will fail to work and another prompt will not be shown.

NOTE: If you are unable to interact with the checkboxes, click the lock icon in the bottom left corner and then check the boxes.
If features still don't work, even after you granted access, reboot the system. Also, make sure that you have the latest version of LCC installed.
