I have VMware installed here.
I am thinking that AMD Ryzen chipset has a problem with Samsung SSD magician recently. SSD magician was perfectly running (features are enabled) when I have 3.00-3.30 BIOS from ASrock. After I updated to 3.40, a lot of features in SSD magician software were suddenly grayed-out (disabled).
Currently the BIOS installed here is the latest one 4.70, released march 6, 2018. but the AMD chipset in this machine wasn't updated for 3 months. I will download the latest amd chipset after I submit this post.
