Fix com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49223 on a Mac with 3 Ways

I have a new Mac, but after a day of use, it no longer recognizes my external hard drives. It's not a disk problem because on the old Mac it works fine. I see it on the disk utility, but if I try to activate it, it gives me this error: (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49223). Even in safe mode, it gives me the usual error. Can you help me?

Suppose your Mac shows the 'com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49223' error when recognizing an external hard drive; the reason why the error 49233 occurs most likely when you mount an external hard drive formatted with NTFS or exFAT on your Mac, where you can only read the external hard drive on a Mac.
