Hello,

What is CMigrationService Service? I know it has something to do with Samsung Magician, but can I disable it?

Do I really need it running int the background all the time?

Thanks

It kicks in when the Data Migration Tool is used in Samsung Magician.

Well now this is interesting...

I go in and see this. I click on that service and the buttons to Stop Start etc are all greyed out.

Services can be written such that they cannot be stopped in the console. You already have it disabled, so just reboot and it should not start.

Will do. Usually I can stop a service without having to do that, but I guess that's not the case here.

I like Samsung Magician (and will continue to use it), but I don't want it running all the time. There's no need for any of that on my end.
