Mask Galaxy Book laptop

edited by manas c

This .bat script will allow you to mimic your windows pc as a Galaxy Book laptop, this is usually used to bypass Samsung's restriction on some applications such as Samsung Notes by modifying the registry. Third-party antivirus applications such as Kaspersky and Bitdefender detecting the .bat file as a threat, it is a false positive! Just whitelist it or modify the registry yourself if that is the case.

4 versions

• Galaxybook_mask(startup).bat:(not recommended)you will see a cmd prompt everytime you start your pc.
• Galaxybook_mask(no startup).bat
• samsungnotes-better.bat: Non startup version that launches samsung notes, can be used as a makeshift shortcut
• (Recommended)samsungnotes-betterv2.bat:This version stores the previous registery key that it changes and then reverts the key back once the app has been launched

To undo the changes made from running Galaxy book mask(startup bat),ie: if you keep seeing a cmd prompt everytime you start your device, locate & delete, then restart pc, the registry values will revert back to factory values

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\GalaxyBookMask.bat

To check if changes were successfully made, run "regedit" and locate

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS

Look for: -

SystemManufacturer: Samsung SystemProductName: NP960XFG-KC4UK

"Unable to sync?/Connecting to a service" error solution

• If you're dealing with that annoying "connecting to a service" pop-up or Samsung Notes freezing while trying to sync or if you are unable to sync samsung notes, here's what you can do:

1. Firstly, you need to install the Winget package manager. You can download it from this microsoft store link.

2. After installing Winget, open a Command Prompt window and enter the following command: winget install 9P98T77876KZ. This command will install the Samsung Account application.

3. Once the Samsung Account application is installed, you should launch the script named "GalaxyBookMask(no startup).bat" from this GitHub link or this repository.

4. After the script has been executed, open the Samsung Account app on your PC from the Start Menu and log in using your Samsung account credentials.

5. Finally, you can open Samsung Notes using the samsungnotes-betterv2.bat file in my repository, and samsung notes should work as expected.

How to install Samsung Notes

If you cannot find the Samsung Notes application in the Microsoft Store, you can install it with Winget.

1. Open terminal or cmd (command promt)
2. Type in winget install 9NBLGGH43VHV
3. Follow the instructions & type "Y" to continue
4. Wait for it to download and install
5. Finish!
