I'm happy to say that we have identified the issue and are currently testing a fix for inclusion in our GA release.
Thank you for all the feedback, it really is appreciated, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
This is a big priority to release - I wasted many hours trying to get this to work, and now I'm running without the endpoint at all.
See my note about how to get running against and the work around.
I tried the file exclusions and that didn't help. Do you mean to turn off the slider that says: Stops ransomware from encrypting your files.?

Yes
Thanks! This is now working - although the Sophos icon is orange, and says "Ransomware Protection Disabled", but this is better than not running at all. Do you have any idea how Big Sur 11.2 will affect this - i.e. break things again, or possibly fix them?
Hi Jonathan, we don't expect Big Sur 11.2 to have any affect on this issue. I assure you however, that we are addressing this in-house and will have a fix for our GA release.
