Samsung Magician

I just got the update notification through the Samsung Magician software itself.

Attachment 323322Attachment 323323

I got that too, let it update, but still the same bug.





If they're putting out buggy crap, as a final build(at least for some systems) Time for me to uninstall and NOT revert back, just uninstall and purge from my system

I'll post updates further, but not install them any more.

Just got the notification from Magician to update. Updated, all good

I even had tried turning off all my hardware monitoring software(TT RGB Plus(uses an older HWInfo .dll), Aida64, and Afterburner) before installing, thinking maybe something might be interfering, but that wasn't the problem either.

I thought of this, because to install HWInfo, I need to turn of the TT RGB Plus, or else HWInfos driver cannot install, after installation I can then run TT PGB plus like normal(I need it to run my AIOs fans).

So I have no software conflicts, I tried totally nuking version 6.2 first and installing 6.3, but get the same bug still.

I made sure to let the installer through Controlled access(Ransomware protection), and after install added all executable in the install folder too, but still no dice.

Maybe its Core Isolation that's the problem, but I will not turn that off, for a program I only use to (check fo)update to the firmware. I can use Aida64 to find my current SSD firmware and then check Samsungs download site.

I have given up. Sloppy coding wins this round.

Something new in the latest version if you click on the square marked in red (Top Right) you will get a mini display of Samsung Magician and the button on the top left is for "Always on Top".

EDIT: The mini display will also revert back to the default full page detailed display upon reboot.

I had your problem too in Magician earlier versions. I found that disabling Memory integrity Core Isolation in Device Security Windows Defender and then update Magician software, after that enabled again Memory Integrity. This way i could update magician with no problems.

Yes, apparently Mini Mode is new for 6.3. Also new in 6.3 is 'Full Power Mode'. I got that from the (rather sparse) 'revision history', having just found where it's hidden at the bottom of Help....

For users working with extremely large files or running graphics-heavy games, the new ‘Full Power Mode’ added to Samsung’s Magician 6.3 software allows the drive to continuously run at peak performance for uninterrupted work and play.
