Windows comes with PowerShell 5.1 by default, which is NOT compatible. You must install PowerShell 7:
# Install PowerShell 7 (one-time setup)
winget install Microsoft.PowerShellNote: If this is your first time using winget, you may need to run winget list first to accept the source agreements. The command may appear to stall without this step.
Or download from: https://aka.ms/powershell
After installing, use pwsh (PowerShell 7) instead of powershell (Windows PowerShell 5.1).
# Run in PowerShell 7 (pwsh)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bananz0/GalaxyBookEnabler/main/Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 | iexThe installer will automatically request administrator privileges if needed.
When running the installer on an existing installation, you have granular uninstall options:
- Reinstall (nuke + fresh install): Completely removes everything (preserving BIOS config), then performs a clean installation
- Uninstall everything: Removes all Samsung apps, services, scheduled task, and configuration
- Nuke Mode: Optionally delete ALL Samsung app data (caches, settings, databases) during uninstall
- Uninstall apps only: Removes all installed Samsung apps while keeping services and scheduled task
- Uninstall services only: Removes scheduled task and Samsung services while keeping apps installed
With gsudo (recommended for seamless elevation):
# Install gsudo first (one-time)
winget install gerardog.gsudo
# Then install Galaxy Book Enabler with automatic elevation
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bananz0/GalaxyBookEnabler/main/Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 | gsudo pwsh- Download
Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 - Run:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 - Accept UAC prompt when requested
- Follow the interactive installer
No need to manually "Run as Administrator" - the script handles elevation automatically!
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -Uninstall.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -TestModeTest mode simulates the entire installation without making any actual changes. Perfect for testing or reviewing what the installer will do before committing.
The installer includes a comprehensive suite of tools to fix common issues with Samsung apps. Select "Reset/Repair Samsung Apps" from the main menu (or uninstall menu) to access:
- Diagnostics: Checks installed packages, device data files, and databases

Samsung apps require Intel Wi-Fi and Intel Bluetooth adapters for full wireless features. Compatibility varies by Wi-Fi generation:
| Generation | Adapters | Quick Share | Multi Control | Second Screen | Camera Share | Storage Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi 7 (BE) | BE200, BE201, BE202 | ✅ Full | ❓ Unknown | ✅ Full | ✅ Full | ✅ Full |
| Wi-Fi 6/6E (AX) | AX210, AX211, AX201, AX200 | ✅ Full | ✅ Full | ✅ Full | ✅ Full | |
| Wi-Fi 5 (AC) | AC 9260, AC 9560, AC 8265, AC 8260 | ✅ Works | ❌ Not Working | ❌ Not Working | ✅ Works | ✅ Works |
| Non-Intel | Realtek, MediaTek, Qualcomm, Broadcom | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
- Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200
- Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201
- Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE202
- Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210/AX211
- Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201/AX200
- Intel Wireless-AC 9260/9560
- Intel Wireless-AC 8265/8260
AC Limitations:
- Multi Control does not work
- Second Screen does not work (WiFi Direct uses 802.11n - Samsung limitation)
- May show "A software or driver update is required" error in Quick Share
- Realtek adapters
- MediaTek adapters
- Qualcomm adapters
- Broadcom adapters
All wireless features also require an Intel Bluetooth radio (not just Wi-Fi). Third-party Bluetooth adapters (USB dongles, etc.) will cause features to fail with unhelpful errors.
If you don't have Intel Wi-Fi and Intel Bluetooth, consider Google Nearby Share as an alternative:
- Works with any Wi-Fi adapter
- Similar file-sharing functionality
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Android, ChromeOS)
- Download: Google Nearby Share
AI Select is Samsung's intelligent selection tool. The installer creates launcher scripts in C:\GalaxyBook\ for easy hotkey binding.
shell:AppsFolder\SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.LTD.SmartSelect_3c1yjt4zspk6g!AppThis method launches AI Select instantly with a single key press:
- Install PowerToys from Microsoft Store
- Open PowerToys → Keyboard Manager
- Remap a key (e.g.,
Right Alt→Win+Ctrl+Alt+S)- This creates an unused intermediate shortcut
- Remap a shortcut →
Win+Ctrl+Alt+S→ Open URI- URI:

For advanced users who prefer AutoHotkey:
; AI Select launcher - save as AISelect.ahk
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
; Press Right Alt to launch AI Select
RAlt::Run "shell:AppsFolder\SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.LTD.SmartSelect_3c1yjt4zspk6g!App"- Find the "AI Select.lnk" on your Desktop (created by installer)
- Right-click → Properties
- Click in the "Shortcut key" field
- Press your desired key combination (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+S)

- Startup Task: Creates a scheduled task that runs the spoof on every boot
- Package Installation: Installs selected Samsung apps from Microsoft Store

Q: Is this safe to use? A: Yes, it only modifies volatile registry keys that reset on reboot. The scheduled task ensures the spoof runs automatically.
Q: Will this void my warranty? A: This doesn't modify hardware or firmware. It only changes registry values.
Q: Can I use this on a real Samsung Galaxy Book? A: There's no need - these features already work on genuine Galaxy Books.
Q: Why does Quick Share need Intel Wi-Fi? A: Samsung designed Quick Share to work specifically with Intel's Wi-Fi Direct implementation. You need both Intel Wi-Fi AX (not AC) and Intel Bluetooth radios. Third-party Bluetooth adapters or Intel AC cards won't work.
Q: Can I uninstall specific packages later? A: Yes, uninstall Samsung apps through Windows Settings → Apps like any other app.
Q: Do I need to keep the installer after installation? A: No, but keep it if you want to update or uninstall later.
Q: Will this work on ARM Windows devices? A: Not tested. The script is designed for x64 Windows systems.
Q: Can I customize the spoofed device model? A: Advanced users can edit the batch file in the installation directory.
The installer detects if you have an older version installed and offers to update.
