[SOLVED] Samsung Magician acting up, big time!

[PEnns]

Greetings

Samsung Magician latest version has no dashboard!! I re-re- and re reinstalled the software (also as admin) as they suggested, still no dashboard, just an empty screen (see attached pictures)
Using older version of Magician? Sure, it does the same thing and can't find any drive either!

BUT: Sentinel DriveHealth sees them all, and all are fine and healthy! And, Crucial Storage Exec can see the other drive, Crucial MX500, perfectly!

Any idea what the heck is going on?? Anyone else has noticed the disappearing dashboard? I can't locate any info on the web. Is it really possible I am the only one who has this problem?
If Magician is of no use, any other way to make sure my Samsung 860 is running the TRIM command?

In other news, the system is stable and runs perfectly.

Thanks in advance!!

What version of Magician is this?
My v7.0.1 is working just fine.


To check the status of TRIM, this:

How to Check if TRIM Is Enabled for Your SSD (and Enable It if It Isn't)

Windows 7 and above are set to automatically enable TRIM on solid-state drives.

Tried installing latest version 7 again in Safe Mode, to see if that would fix the problem. I wouldn't even install!

I had to go back to version 6 and it installed well and now runs well now
