https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Samsung-Magician-9-won-t-complete-installation/m-p/3426977#M135775 <P>After reboot today, Samsung Magician indicated a new version was available, which I downloaded and installed.&nbsp; Proceeds through installation and starts to initialize, but never completes.&nbsp; A popup indicates that restarting the installation may help, offers a link to do so, several restarts of the installation did not resolve the issue.</P><P>Tried to install the prior version I still had in my downloads, version 8.3.&nbsp; That required deleting the current install which hadn't completed, rebooting and then installing 8.3.&nbsp; Unfortunately 8.3 runs into the same issue, never completes initializing (and it's in the foreground, so waiting it out while doing other things isn't an option).</P><P>How does one fix the installation initialization hang up?</P><P>Thank you.</P> Tue, 09 Dec 2025 22:41:17 GMT Members_mqG9VHj 2025-12-09T22:41:17Z
