I allowed the update to proceed but when it started the new version it hung "Scanning for drive information". After about 5 minutes I killed the task, rebooted and tried again. This still didn't work, so I uninstalled Magician, rebooted and reverted to the old version (7.0.1.630).

Same. I just updated to 7.1.1.820 and it's stuck at the initial scan.

Same here. Version 7.1.1 does endless scanning for drive information.

Windows 10, latest patch day installed, AMD Ryzen 9500.

By the way, maybe it helps if you give the info what Windows, and what CPU

I'm assuming it "may" work if you don't have NVMe drives ? I do (the 980) and 7.1.0 doesn't see it, so won't try 7.1.1 until several users confirm it's OK with 980.

7.1.1 works for me with W11, EVO 970 nvme (Ryzen 3700X, MSI B350 PC MATE, May 2022 BIOS with new AGESA for stutter fix and 5800X3D support)

7.1.0 worked for me and I have a mix of drives, both NVMe and SATA, but 7.1.1 causes the forever scanning for drives so I had to revert to 7.1.0 to get everything working again.

I got two 980PRO NVMe, one 950PRO SATA and one 950EVO SAT. Using AMD 5950X with an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard. Fully updated Windows 10 21H2.

Either the software engineers were never told there was a problem or the don't care there was problem with 7.1 because it isn't fixed in 7.11. The app still intermittently fails launch on boot/reboot of Windows (Windows 10) or after restarting the app it will occasionally hang on scanning drive(s).

Same here, 2 NVME SSD 980 Pro.

Don't work. Revert to 7.0.1

7.1.1 working fine here, even after a reboot. The app starts up almost immediately. I had uninstalled the previous version a while ago as it was causing problems. This version seems better so far.

I have been running v7.0.1.630 because when I updated to v7.1.0.770, Magician would crash so I went back to v7.01.630. This time I tried updating to v7.1.1.820. Same thing so back to v7.0.1.630.

2 different machines. One is an Intel Z370 system, the other is AMD X570. Both have Samsung 980 Pro. The intel machine also has a 970 Pro and an 850 Pro (SSD). The AMD system also has a 970 Evo+. Both are running Windows 10 21H2 build 19044.1706. Nothing has worked for me since v7.0.1.630. I have tried completely uninstalling the old version first, including using Revo Uninstaller. Doesn't matter. Both of the last updates crash for me on both machines.

Mine is an AMD X570 (TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WIFI)) and the Windows version is 21H2 buid of the 19044.1706 operating system too.

Update by Samsung Magician itself or standard uninstallation or by Revo Uninstaller Pro and install from the software downloaded from Samsung, nothing nor done.

Running Windows 11 Pro with Samsung 980 Pro, 970 Evo Plus and 970 Pro SSDs. All good here with the new Magician software

Re: Samsung Magician New update Available

JdTissot — Sun, 22 May 2022 12:13:52 GMT

Why this difference in behavior on different systems?
Is it due to the processor?
Mine is an AMD Rysen 7 5800X
Does the software work correctly on Intel processors only?

Re: Samsung Magician New update Available

BlueMonday19 — Sun, 22 May 2022 12:19:20 GMT

I have an AMD 5900X

The last 2 versions of Magician (v7.1.0.770 and v7.1.1.820) have both crashed on my Intel Z370 system (i7-8700K) and my AMD X570 system (5950X), so I don't think the problem is limited to Intel or AMD based systems. Both are running Windows 10 21H2 Build 19044.1706.
