How To Enable USB Debugging For The Samsung S7

Question

I am trying to use the chrome remote debugging tools.

So I am following this doc https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

However once I have developer options enabled, I cannot enable USB debugging. It stays disabled(greyed out)

Please not I have done this several times with other devices. My S7 is the only device that won't let me enable USB debugging.

Device information: Samsung Galaxy S7, android 6.0.1

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

EDIT: I have tried before and after connecting my device. The USB configuration is MTP.

Answer 1

Quoting www.samsungknox.com:

Is USB debugging disabled by default in KNOX 2.2?

From KNOX 2.2 onwards, USB debugging is disabled once a container is created. The check box to enable the USB debugging is unavailable (grayed out) and user cannot select it.

You can try uninstall Samsung My Knox and then USB debugging should works properly.
