Hello,
It sounds like you have FileVault enabled which is full-disk encryption. This prevents our driver from being enabled until you log into the computer or reach the login screen.
You can check information about what it is in the below article.

This is unfortunately not something that we can fix or workaround as this is a security feature that your MacOS has to keep your computer safe. If you were to disable it should start working as you expect it but please think it through thorough carefully before deciding to do that.
Best regards,
Katarzyna
