Hi @Anonymous

SmartSwitch replaced Kies last month. It started with the S6 but it appears to be now used on some other models.

Any attempt to use kies will simply point you to Smartswitch I'm afraid.

I don't like smart switch - you can see what they were after, but they are a long way off it!

Can you not just dismiss the notice to use smartswitch and continue with Kies?

You can dismiss the smart switch notice but it still does not connect
