A Series & Other MobileI have the latest PC version and Mobile version of Smart Switch.
When I connect PC and Mobile, the PC version says Smart Switch needs an update. When I click ok, it reports "update failed" on the PC side. This is preventing me from performing a backup. Please advise?
Note - I've tried reinstalling both versions (PC & Mobile) and I get this error on two handsets - 22 Ultra and 23 Ultra - and on 2 different PCs, both running Windows 10.
Solved! Go to Solution.

A Series & Other Mobileuse Smart Switch to back up your phone to a SSD if you have one. otherwise, the "failure to update" message from your PC sounds like more of an issue with the PC and not Samsung.

A Series & Other MobileWill look into the approach for using an SSD but regarding your comment about a PC issue... firstly, it worked a while back and also I get the same error on two different PCs (as mentioned) that had both work previously (on older versions of the software).

A Series & Other MobileAs a rule, I don't back up to my PC. I use a SSD. I've found that approach faster and less cumbersome.

A Series & Other MobileI use Smart Switch to back up to the SSD. In my case, I'm using a Samsung SSD, and there's a corresponding Play Store app for use with that hardware. You still use Smart Switch to perform the back up.
