Looking for guidance with the Mini Drivers, specifically YouTubeTV and Disney+. I have a Frame TV and have placed both mini drivers in the project. The apps are installed on the TV itself and launch when selected from the TV Smarthub. In Composer, I have tried connecting the Samsung App Switcher MiniApp(s) to the mini drivers and it does not seem to work. Composer shows me MiniApp 1 through 15 with 15 being the Art Mode which does work. Does it matter which MiniApp I connect to the YT or D+ mini driver? I just can't get the app to launch when selecting it through C4... what am I missing?
But since the 2021 models, samsung has added the ability to launch more mini apps BUT it requires those apps to be added to the home screen (it should ask you on downloading them, or it can be done manually, nothing Google can't find for you) - in addition the new drivers have the ability to pull the list of home screen apps, so you can check if they've registered properly, and if they are, you can add and use the corresponding universal mini driver (provided there is one)
Thanks all. I was using the YoutubeTV and Disney+ mini apps and not the YT/AZ/NF ones that appear to be the working trifecta. After looking at the KB article Ryan ref, I see how the new drivers have the app list. The driver for my Framt does not. Thanks for the knowledge.
As I said, the three you mentioned are apps that were indeed already supported before, but Samsung TVs have been very limited in what mini-app driver (calls) they supported. Since the 2021 models, there is at least the ability to get more (most/all?) to work, albeit with some extra work and caveats (user not deleting the apps from the homescreen)
I have a Dell Inspiron 7373 13" laptop which is fitted with a 256GB SATA M.2 SSD. The Dell spec for the laptop states that it can use either SATA M.2 SSDs or NVMe M.2 SSDs. So I ordered a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 500GB SSD.
Finally I shut down the laptop, removed the rescue USB and restarted the laptop but it would not boot into Windows. I tried a boot repair using Macrium and it reported that all was good but the laptop will still not boot from the new drive. I also tried a Windows boot repair but this also failed to solve the problem.
I have checked Samsung's website and they have an exe file download for installing the NVMe drivers. So I put back my old SATA SSD into my laptop and booted into windows. I checked the device manager for installed drivers and sure enough there was no NVMe driver installed under disk controllers, only SATA driver. So I tried to install the Samsung NVMe driver before taking another image but it will not install the drivers unless a Samsung NVMe SSD is present.
I am now struck, I cannot install the NVMe driver unless the drive is installed but if I install the drive it will not let me boot into windows to install the driver! One thought was to purchase a NVMe external enclosure so I can connect the NVMe SSD via the USB3.1 port, this may then enable me to install the NVMe drivers before I cone the SATA SSD.
I was upgrading my laptop from an M.2 sata to a larger M.2 nvme drive. I used an external M.2 USB enclosure and Acronis to make a clone of the original drive. I installed the clone into the laptop but it wouldn't boot (inaccessible boot device). What worked for me was simply booting into safe mode once. Apparently this enabled the NVME driver to run at boot time from then on.To do this - When the boot fails and goes to the recover screen select:Troubleshoot->AdvancedOptions->AdvancedStartupOptions->StartupSettings, then select Restart. When the computer restarts enter the number (4) for EnableSafeMode. Let safe mode come up, login and restart the computer.
I was advised by Macrium to try booting into Windows in safe mode. They thought that loading Windows in safe mode with a minimum drivers, etc may enable Windows to boot far enough to find the new drive and load the NVMe drivers. I tried this and it worked! Once I was in Windows in safe mode I went to Device Manager and sure enough the Windows NVMe driver had been loaded and the drive was present.
I then logged out, shut down and restarted the laptop in standard mode and everything loaded as it should. I have now updated to the Samsung NVMe SSD driver and run some diagnostics and benchmarks. All is running as it should and much faster!
I had the same problem installing Samsung Evo plus and wanted to share what i did in detail from the helpful advice above. There where steps missing that i had to research before I was successful. This might be an easy list to follow for folks who dont know how to access command prompt.
The generic Microsoft NVMe driver seems to be called stornvme. (For comparison, the generic SATA AHCI driver is storahci, though Intel RST has a different name.) You can change its configuration using sc from an administrator Command Prompt:
I did the same but from a 256 GB nvme SSD to a 1TB one.I used the 'create system recovery option' in Windows 7 backup (available in Windows 10/11), wrote it to an internally attached HDD.Replaced the SSD, booted from a recovery USB stick and restored the system image.The system gave a 'Unaccessible boot device' after initial boot, and system repair could not fix it, neither the manual bcd options through a dosprompt (windows 11 does not have the boot folder on the system disk, but on a separated hidden partition)I then booted in safe mode, did a CHKDSK /F and rebooted. It all worked, only the partitions where as small as on the original ssd. Used a 3rd party partition tool to move and enlarge the partitions.All works great now.
I tried several of the suggestions on this forum as my device would show in windows and bios but would not boot. The issue was my boot was set to legacy for storage and pci devices so changed to UEFI then had to convert the drive to GPT and finally booted my Evo 970, would have long given up without this thread ! Thanks everyone ?
I'd like to install windows 10 on my intel NUC equipped with a samsung ssd 970 evo but the disk doesn't show up during installation, an error shows up saying it can't find the device drivers.
The driver provided by samsung is an exe file and can't be installed during installation. Is there another driver that can resolve this ? Or is there another way for windows to find a driver by itself ?
thanks but I only have fedora installed on the ssd in a partition, I made another partition where I plan to install windows.
SATA is already in AHCI mode btw, UEFI is also enabled.
The problem is there's no driver for the samsung ssd so windows can't install itself. If I had the driver, the link you provided would work without a problem.
