For Optimal Performance:

  1. Fresh Windows 11 install
  2. Samsung Driver Package: https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver
  3. No Additional Driver Packages
  4. No iTunes
  5. No Competitor Software
  6. No extra Anti Virus/malware detection (or the ability to white list the FutureDial operating directory: C:\ProgramData\FutureDial

  1. appldnld.apple.com – this will block all downloading/updating of apps on the devices
  2. mesu.apple.com – this will block all firmware/software updates along with OTA communications
