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)

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
With gsudo (recommended for seamless elevation):
# Install gsudo first (one-time)
winget install gerardog.gsudo
# Then install Galaxy Book Enabler with automatic elevation

Galaxy Book Enabler now performs a hardware compatibility check before installation. The installer detects your CPU, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth platforms and shows a feature support summary before you choose a profile.
- Intel - Full support
- AMD Ryzen - Supported for many apps and features, with hardware-dependent limitations for some wireless features
- ARM - Experimental warning shown during install
The installer checks vendor IDs for:
- Intel (
8086) - MediaTek / AMD RZ-series (
14C3) - Realtek (
10EC) - Qualcomm (
168C,17CB)
The installer checks vendor IDs for:
- Intel (
8087) - MediaTek (
0E8D) - Realtek (
0BDA)
- Samsung Notes / Bixby / AI Select - Works regardless of Wi-Fi platform
- Galaxy Buds / MultiPoint - Works regardless of Wi-Fi platform
- Samsung Settings / Knox / Pass - Works regardless of Wi-Fi platform
- Quick Share / Camera Share / Storage Share - Require Intel Wi-Fi for full support
- Multi Control / Second Screen - Most reliable with Intel Wi-Fi + Intel Bluetooth
- Continuity Service - Best results with Intel Wi-Fi + Intel Bluetooth
AMD systems are supported, but the best experience depends heavily on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipset in the machine.
- If your AMD system has Intel Wi-Fi + Intel Bluetooth, wireless Samsung features have the best chance of working properly
- If your AMD system uses MediaTek, Realtek, or Qualcomm Wi-Fi, expect Samsung Notes, Galaxy Buds, Samsung Settings, Knox, and similar apps to work, but Quick Share, Camera Share, and Storage Share are not expected to work correctly
- For AMD systems, the installer guidance currently favors Galaxy Book5 Pro (
960XHA) or Galaxy Book6 Pro (960XKA) profiles
The table below focuses on the wireless Samsung features that depend on Wi-Fi Direct and related stack behavior.

AC Limitations:
- Multi Control does not work reliably
- Second Screen does not work
- Quick Share may show driver or software update errors on some systems
| Product Family | Status |
|---|---|
| Intel Wireless-AC 7265/7260 | Not tested - may not work |
| Intel Wireless-AC 3168/3165 | Not tested - may not work |
⚠️ Legacy Warning: These older adapters may not work if:
- Driver hasn't been updated since 2020
- Product is discontinued without Windows 10/11 driver support
- Adapter doesn't support modern Wi-Fi Direct features
Multi Control is currently not working reliably on any platform:
- Works intermittently on some Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 systems
- Completely unreliable on many non-Intel setups
- Investigation is ongoing
All major wireless features also require an Intel Bluetooth radio in addition to compatible Wi-Fi. Third-party Bluetooth adapters and mismatched wireless stacks may cause features to fail with unclear 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
Run this in any PowerShell window to confirm the spoof was applied:
Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS' |
Select-Object SystemFamily, SystemProductName, SystemManufacturer, BIOSVersionIf values show your real hardware instead of Samsung, the startup task hasn't run yet. Reboot, or run the spoof script manually as Administrator:
& "$env:USERPROFILE\.galaxy-book-enabler\GalaxyBookSpoof.bat"After spoofing and rebooting, Samsung Settings will display the device as your chosen Galaxy Book model.
- Built-in recovery task: Check Task Scheduler for
GalaxyBookEnabler-MultiControlInit - Expected timing: Task starts at boot +5 minutes, then waits 1 minute before restarting Samsung services
- Run manually:
pwsh -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.galaxy-book-enabler\Init-SamsungMultiControlOnLogin.ps1" - Multi Control is under active investigation — works intermittently on Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 even on real Galaxy Books
- Ensure you are signed into Samsung Account
- Sign out and back into Samsung Account, then reopen Nearby Devices
- Reboot after the spoof task runs and try again
- Nearby Devices does not require Intel Wi-Fi — it works on any adapter
- Reboot required: Some apps only read the BIOS identity at startup
- Verify spoof: Run the registry check above to confirm spoofing is active
- Samsung Account: Sign in to Samsung Account inside each app
- Quick Share and Camera Share require Intel Wi-Fi AX (not AC) and Intel Bluetooth
- Check Device Manager → Network Adapters for your Wi-Fi adapter model
- Third-party Bluetooth (USB dongle, Realtek, MediaTek) will cause failures
- Admin rights: Must run PowerShell 7 as Administrator
- Winget issues: Run
winget upgrade --allto update winget - Antivirus: Temporarily disable if blocking installation
