Samsung Magician version 8.1 not working/starting on Win 11 (even after fresh installing windows 2 times)

[Alvi1306]

Since version 8.0, the app hasnt started. I cant open it, close it in the task manager or do anything, it just gets stuck. I have a 980 which I paid good money for it and I cant even use the app. I could have gotten a wd black or crucial but decided to give Samsung a chance (big mistake). Contacted them, they said that they cant help me. Hopefully they see this post and maybe upload a new version so that we can use the app in peace.

Same thing for me. When I open it, it stays minimized on the taskbar and won't open. Very frustrating as I have purchased a 980 and two 990s and am stuck.

Same issue. I can't get it to work. When starting it from command line, I'll get the following error:

After installation shortcut to start Magicitian looks like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Samsung Magician\SamsungMagician.exe" --disable-gpu-sandbox

I just found out, that adding --no-sandbox solves the issue.

[mondo89]

ho dovuto sbariare molto per questo, installazioni, disinstallazioni, letture di forum e alla fine il no sandbox ha risolto, spero che tra tutti i miliardi di samsung qualcuno venga investito anche per risolvere questo problema alla fonte... grazie!

[Streki]

Same error. This app is worst sofw ever! 

[dmu08]

Same problem why hasn't this been fixed yet?

[Streki]

Samsung doesn't care about customers. Why? Unfortunately, no more SSDs from this company in the future.

[Nikita_Pustovoi]

Please tell me how to "add --no-sandbox" and where to do it... really don't know

Thanks

Vet inte om någon bryr sig längre, men man högerklickar på genvägen efter  installation och väljer egenskaper, byt sedan ut det sista under raden "Mål" från "–disable-gpu-sandbox" mot "–no-sandbox" så kommer det fungera. Tänk på att klicka ur "Starta Samsung Magician" när du precis installerat det.
