    Driver Problem.

    My Samsung Magician has started giving me a Driver problem (see Attachment).
    I have been using this for along time now and it was working alright,but it suddenly started to give me this error.
    I have searched for new drivers and have reinstalled but have had no luck fixing the problem.

    Same here on W10any idea? This way Samsung Magician become useless... Also work as Ide and cant turn on max performance because it says that there where a problem activating energy settings...

    That can only be corrected if , Samsung, and their exploding phones, finally send in their request to get a certificate from Microsoft for Win10 anniversary update and later.
    It's a simple process, but not Microsoft's fault for wanting to protect the users from rootkits(and ransomeware) at boot time.

    It obviously now has new security certificates, as I am using SHA 2 for TPM in BIOS, and now after a clean install it sees my disks as AHCI on!

    Also the new Magician doesn't either see, or, just doesn't show my Samsung MZVLV512HCJH (PM951) 512 GB PCI Express Gen3 x4 M.2 disk. It can't do anything for it, but... the last Magician version at least showed that I had it. I'm guessing, the new version only shows SATA connections.

    Ha! Ha! just tried to grab the new version and here's what came up instead. Why on earth does Samsung care about download limits?

    I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Same thing happened with the NVMe driver, too.
    Sigh.

    PS: seeing the date window above, maybe it's to conserve bandwidth for serving Black Friday/Cyber Monday online shoppers?

    That probably means their download limit has been exceeded; thus, no more ability to serve your request? Just a guess, of course.
