Samsung Magician 4.4 Update

[Thomas Brelin]

I've also updated Samsung Magician to the latest version for my 840 Pro drive and I had absolutely no problem during the update and eventually Rapid Mode feature was improved dramatically ! However since then the magician software is included to the startup and can't be removed with the Task Manager. The previous version could. May any kind soul let me know how to remove it from the startup and of course remove the icon from the system tray with every boot ? Need to add that my OS is Win 8. Thank you !

Have you tried the method suggested here - http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-8-tip-manage-startup-applications - to disable it in startup? Still looking for a way to hide the icon in the system tray.

The method suggested in the link you provide is via Task Manager which is the first I tried without any success, if you read my message more carefully. Although Task Manager indicates that it's disabled it still starts up with every boot ! The Magician icon can be removed easily from the system tray (right click - remove - OK) or hide if configured via this path, Control Panel - All Control Panel Items - Notification Area Icons.

However what I'm asking is to stop it starting up with every boot just like the older version 4.3. I found out that the cause of this issue is the new Rapid Mode which is included to Magician. In fact what is making the software starting up with the every system boot is Samsung Rapid Mode.

Any other suggestion on how to stop this software (Magician) starting up with every boot ?

Not sure if running Autoruns for Windows (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx) will help but it may be worth trying. You may be able to disable it that way or least find the startup location.

OK, found it and fixed it, nothing to do with Rapid Mode but with task scheduling !!!

Control Panel / System and Security / Administrative Tools / Task Scheduler / Task Scheduler Local / Task Scheduler Library / Samsung Magician / Disable

Thanks anyway !

You can remove it from the startup. Magicain 4.4 tray icon -> right click and use 'Remove from Startup".
