Galaxy Book Enabler
Enable Samsung Galaxy Book features on any Windows PC
🎉 A big thank you to @Hydro3ia, @systemsrethinking, @intini, and @Ritel-T for sponsoring us! ❤️
Overview
Galaxy Book Enabler spoofs your Windows PC as a Samsung Galaxy Book, unlocking access to Samsung’s ecosystem apps like Quick Share, Multi Control, Samsung Notes, and more. The tool provides an intelligent installer with package filtering, Wi-Fi compatibility detection, and automated startup configuration.
Samsung now officially supports some features on non-Samsung PCs. Multi Control, Second Screen, Storage Share, copy/paste, Continue on other devices and Auto switch Buds work on any Windows 11 x64 PC through Galaxy Connect, and Samsung Phone v1.1.19.0+ supports non-Samsung PCs too. You don’t need this tool for those. It’s still needed for Quick Share, Camera Share, Samsung Notes, Samsung Settings and the rest. See Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Compatibility.

Requirements
IMPORTANT: This script requires PowerShell 7.0 or later
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.PowerShell
Note: 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.
Multipoint Audio (Seamless Buds Switching): For seamless buds switching between devices, you must install SSSE and the Core package profile, which includes Samsung Settings, Settings Runtime, and the Galaxy Buds app.
Or download from: https://aka.ms/powershell
After installing, use pwsh (PowerShell 7) instead of powershell (Windows PowerShell 5.1).
Quick Start
Best practice: download Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 first and run it locally from PowerShell 7. The irm path is supported, but local use is the preferred path.
One-Line Install (from GitHub)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bananz0/GalaxyBookEnabler/main/Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 | iex
The installer will automatically request administrator privileges if needed.
Save Locally First
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bananz0/GalaxyBookEnabler/main/Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -OutFile .\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1
Then run:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1
Uninstall Options
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 tasks, 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 tasks
- Uninstall services only: Removes scheduled tasks and Samsung services while keeping apps installed
Manual Install
- 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!
Uninstall
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -Uninstall
Test Mode (No Changes Applied)
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -TestMode
Test mode simulates the entire installation without making any actual changes. Perfect for testing or reviewing what the installer will do before committing.
Fully Autonomous Install (CI / Scripted)
Run the installer non-interactively with all options specified up front:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -FullyAutonomous -AutonomousModel Book4Pro -AutonomousPackageProfile Recommended -AutonomousInstallSsse:$true -AutonomousSsseStrategy Dual -AutonomousConfirmPackages:$true -AutonomousCreateAiSelectShortcut:$false -DebugOutput -LogDirectory "C:\GalaxyBook\Logs"
Notes:
-AutonomousPackageProfile supports: Core, Recommended, RecommendedPlus, Full, Everything, Custom, Skip.- For

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Compatibility
Wireless requirements now depend on whether Samsung officially supports a feature on non-Samsung PCs.
Officially Supported Features (Galaxy Connect)
As of October 2026, Samsung officially supports these features on any Windows 11 x64 PC (Intel or AMD) through Galaxy Connect, no spoof needed:
- Multi Control
- Second Screen
- Storage Share
- Copy/paste between devices
- Continue on other devices (requires Samsung Internet on both devices)
- Auto switch Buds
Samsung Phone v1.1.19.0+ also supports non-Samsung PCs.
Samsung’s requirements for these:
- Bluetooth 5.0 or later with Extended BLE support
- Built-in Intel, Realtek or MediaTek adapters
- Intel or MediaTek USB or expansion-card adapters
- Any Wi-Fi chipset
- All devices signed in to the same Samsung account
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on, and all devices on the same Wi-Fi AP
If one of these features isn’t working, update Galaxy Connect and the feature’s app from the Microsoft Store first. See #100.
Enabler-Only Features (Quick Share, Camera Share)
Features Samsung hasn’t opened up still require the spoof, and still need Intel Wi-Fi and Intel Bluetooth. Compatibility varies by Wi-Fi generation:

⚠️ Legacy Warning: These older adapters may not work if:
- Driver hasn’t been updated since 2020 (e.g., Windows 8.1 drivers v21.40.5)
- Product is discontinued without Windows 10/11 driver support
- Adapter doesn’t support modern Wi-Fi Direct features
Non-Intel Wi-Fi (Quick Share / Camera Share Not Working) ❌
- Realtek adapters
- MediaTek adapters
- Qualcomm adapters
- Broadcom adapters
These adapters can still use the officially supported Galaxy Connect features above if the Bluetooth adapter is on Samsung’s list.
Intel Bluetooth (Required for Quick Share / Camera Share) ✅
Quick Share and Camera Share also require an Intel Bluetooth radio (not just Wi-Fi). Third-party Bluetooth adapters (USB dongles, etc.) will cause these to fail with unhelpful errors.
Alternative for Non-Intel Users
If you don’t have Intel Wi-Fi and Intel Bluetooth, consider Google Nearby Share as an alternative for Quick Share:
- Works with any Wi-Fi adapter
- Similar file-sharing functionality
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Android, ChromeOS)
- Download: Google Nearby Share
AI Select (Smart Select)
AI Select is Samsung’s intelligent selection tool. The installer creates launcher scripts in C:\GalaxyBook\ for easy hotkey binding.
Launch URI
shell:AppsFolder\SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.LTD.SmartSelect_3c1yjt4zspk6g!App
Method 1: PowerToys URI (Recommended - Fastest)
This 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:
shell:AppsFolder\SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.LTD.SmartSelect_3c1yjt4zspk6g!App
- Press Right Alt to instantly launch AI Select!
Method 2: PowerToys Run Program
- Install PowerToys
- Keyboard Manager → Remap a shortcut
- Set shortcut (e.g.,
Ctrl+Shift+S) → Action: Run Program
- Program:
powershell.exe
- Args:
-WindowStyle Hidden -File "C:\GalaxyBook\AISelect.ps1"
Method 3: AutoHotkey (AHK)
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"
Method 4: Desktop Shortcut (Standard)
- 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)
- Click OK
Note: Desktop shortcuts use explorer.exe which adds slight overhead. PowerToys URI or AHK methods are faster.
config.plist Generation
If you want OpenCore-ready SMBIOS values, use the installer directly.
Generate configuration data only:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -ConfigurationOnly -FullyAutonomous -AutonomousModel Book4Ultra -AutonomousCountryCode US
Write the generated values straight into an existing config.plist:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -ConfigurationOnly -FullyAutonomous -AutonomousModel Book4Pro -AutonomousCountryCode US -ConfigurationPath "D:\\EFI\\OC\\config.plist"
Include the full BIOS version when you need a closer Samsung-style match:
.\Install-GalaxyBookEnabler.ps1 -ConfigurationOnly -FullyAutonomous -AutonomousModel Book4Pro -AutonomousCountryCode US -IncludeFullBiosVersion -ConfigurationPath "D:\\EFI\\OC\\config.plist"
This uses the installer’s inline resolver to generate internally consistent SystemSKU, BIOSVersion, SerialNumber, ROM, and SystemUUID values.
When -ConfigurationPath is used, the script creates a timestamped .bak copy alongside the original file before writing updates. Use -SkipConfigurationBackup to suppress that backup or -ConfigurationBackupSuffix to customize the backup suffix.
Region selection defaults to your Windows locale. Ireland (IE) maps to the UK (UK) by default. If you need a closer match, set -AutonomousCountryCode, -AutonomousRegion, or -AutonomousRegionPreference. Optional -AutonomousRegionSource GeoIp uses a public GeoIP lookup, currently trying ipwho.is first and falling back to ipapi.co, to resolve country based on IP.
🔧 How It Works
- Registry Spoof: Modifies system registry to identify as a Samsung Galaxy Book profile
- Startup Tasks: Creates scheduled tasks that run on every boot
- Multi Control Recovery: Runs
Init-SamsungMultiControlOnLogin.ps1 at startup +5 minutes, then waits 1 minute before restarting Samsung services
- Package Installation: Installs selected Samsung apps from Microsoft Store
- Configuration: Sets up shortcuts and configuration files

FAQ
Q: Is this safe to use?
A: Yes, it only modifies volatile registry keys that reset on reboot. Scheduled tasks ensure the spoof and Multi Control service restart run 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: Do I still need this now that Samsung supports non-Samsung PCs?
A: Not for Multi Control, Second Screen, Storage Share, copy/paste, Continue on other devices, Auto switch Buds or Samsung Phone. Those are officially supported through Galaxy Connect. You still need it for Quick Share, Camera Share, Samsung Notes, Samsung Settings and the other apps.
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.
