Samsung Laptop Support Drivers Download
Nickie Koskinen
Software updates are a vital part of keeping your laptop or notebook running its best. It's important to periodically check for updates since they are released at different intervals. To make things easier, your Samsung laptop or notebook allows you to quickly check and apply updates. You can even customize the update options, so they'll only happen at times that are convenient for you.
Samsung Update allows you to download updates and drivers for your Samsung software. Select Start, and then scroll to and select Samsung Update. Enter your laptop or notebook's model number in the Search bar at the top right, and then choose the appropriate software version. Select your desired drivers or installation files, and then click Download. The updates will automatically install.
Updating device drivers can be done through either Samsung Update or Windows Update. Windows Update may mark these updates as optional. These drivers are needed to run system apps and connect devices.
Depending on what device you are connecting, you can get drivers for Samsung devices from our Support Centre. If drivers are not available for the device, then the drivers available from Samsung Update and Windows Update are sufficient. Devices or components made by manufacturers other than Samsung may offer drivers directly from their site. See Microsoft's help article for how to install and update drivers.
In the top right, if some apps are already available for update, you may see a download icon and the number of apps awaiting download. Otherwise, click the three dots and then Downloads and updates. Once here, you can use the Get updates button to check all your apps for updates, and the Update all button to download all updates that are already detected as available. Or you can pick and choose which ones to download. Finally, you can click the three dots again and select Settings to enable the setting to Update apps automatically (which should be on by default).
If the Microsoft store app itself is one of the apps being updated, the store will close as the update is performed. Reopen the Microsoft store app and check again for updates if this happens. It is also good to check for app updates after updating to a new version of Windows 10 from Windows update.
It is also possible to install desktop apps that are not found in the Microsoft store. These apps are completely maintained by their developers and you should use any update tools the app offers or check with the app developer's website to find information on when and how to update it.
Since new in 2012, the laptop has occasionally powered off without warning, no blue screen or error message. Can go for a month or 2 without happening, or 2 or 3 times on a very bad day. No pattern to it. No solution ever from Samsung tech support. Not repeatable enough to justify return for hardware fault investigation. Did regular backups and lived with it.
Bored one day, I downloaded the crash log analyser tool from the Windows 7 SDK and learnt how to use it. All of the crashes turned out to be wi-fi driver power state errors, and always the same. No new drivers available. Out of support with Samsung. No solution. Tempted by the free Windows 10 upgrade I bit the bullet against Samsung's advice. The problem became much less frequent with new Windows 10 wireless drivers from Microsoft, maybe once in 3 months at most. So I bit the bullet again and decided not to buy a new laptop just yet, but to get a Samsung Evo 850 SSD and while fitting it, to replace the wireless module with a dual band version to get 5GHz band and Bluetooth 4. Found a brand new one very cheap on Ebay. Laptop now boots (and does all the interminable daily software package update version update checks), in 90 seconds, where it used to take 17 minutes. Result. An unexpected bonus result was that the new card automatically installed the different wireless drivers needed, on first boot, and it has never powered suddenly off since. The wireless works fine and faster on 5GHz, and I no longer need the Bluetooth 4 dongle that came with a Fitbit, so freeing up a spare USB port.
With hindsight, I should have done more research on the best wireless card to buy. I had only checked for compatibility and the number of antenna terminals, rather than best performance. I could have bought a wireless-ac version for a little more and achieved even better wi-fi speeds, as my router is ac standard. Not sure the laptop antennae would support ac though. The SSD is the best 130 I have ever spent and gives better overall performance than I'd have got from buying many a new laptop at over 1000.
What about the Window 10 upgrade. Seemed to complete succesfully with no errors detected, but Edge browser would not open. Re-installed it using Powershell, another learning exercise, but no luck. Did a clean install and that fixed the issue. The only minor niggle is that the touchpad double-tap to left-click function occasionally fails to work first time, so I swapped a wi-fi driver problem for a much less serious Elan touchpad driver issue. MS issued a new touchpad driver a few months after I reported it, and it's better but not perfect. The physical left-click button always works first time so just need to change my habit of double tapping.
Have any of you faced the same issue with Facial Recognition on your Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 (Model# 730QFG) or the previous models? I have Galaxy Book Pro 360 (Model# 930 QDB) and both have the same issue with facial recognition.
As I have the same issue with both the laptops, i can't imagine it's an issue specific to the laptop but some firmware issue or the camera itself is not equipped with the required sensors to be compatible with Windows Hello.
I have the same problem with my new Galaxy book3 pro 360.This point is important for me because I intent to replace my desktop with a dock attached to the galaxy book and external monitors for a unique solution.
Windows has specified the requierement for the cameras to use Hello. I have two of such cameras which have the infrared component, one is the logitech Brio. I used this camera until now in my desktop and a Lenovo thinkbook without any problem with hello. The samsung support tells me that the problem lays in the lack of driver that microsoft should provide. Personally I think that it is responsability of samsung to make the arrangement with microsoft before putting it on the market...
What to do? I don' think the problem is with the driver of the screen, since I already had older Lenovo laptop and it worked their with UHD 620, but for some reason I can't install it on this new laptop
In many cases, it's the implementation of the HDMI port on their motherboard that is the issue. In these generations, the processor's GFX engine only supports HDMI 1.4. In order to support HDMI 2.0, they include an additional IC, called a LSPcon IC, that convert's the processor's (better) DisplayPort 1.2 output into a HDMI 2.0 output. Over the years, I have seen lots of issues with these ICs, typically in their F/W, that will disaffect support. You should check whether there is an update to this firmware available for your laptop model.

I purchased a 2022 model of the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 in the 13.3 inch variant. I had horrible issues with the WIFI. The signal was all over the place while staying in one spot (about 30 feet from the router). My internet speeds were between 5-50 download and same upload. It would drop wifi constantly. I returned the laptop to the store assuming it had a bad wifi that missed quality control. I got the same laptop as a replacement. I had the same issues with the new laptop, but not quite as bad. Even sitting with the laptop within inches of the router the download speed was ok (400 on a 500/500 fiber connection) but the upload speed was still only 100 or so. Back in the living room less than 30 feet away from the router I was getting slow and erratic connection speeds/issues with it dropping.
My wifi router is relatively new and an AX5400 router with 160 ghz. I updated the firmware on the galaxy book and the router, I ensured 2.4 and 5 ghz bands were split so I wasn't connecting to a slower 2.4 ghz connection. My 7 year old samsung laptop sitting in the same place gets a 450/450 speed test and doesn't drop video conferences like the galaxy 360 did.
I contacted support who had told me to re-install windows. When I informed them I had done that they suggested sending it in for repair, but I don't think this is an issue with just one laptop, I think it is a driver or hardware issue. I had literally been up all night working on it for 12 hours. I'm not super familiar with windows 11, but prior versions I supported as a PC Tech and I'm a software analyst.. so I knew a few tricks and know how to google. It appears intel's AX wifi chips have some issues. I am typing this on a Surface Laptop 4, and it has an older version of the chip AX200. Download speed is OK but upload speed is around 150, while my wifi 6 connected phones do 450 to 500 up/down in the same location. This chip doesn't drop the connection though and the signal stays strong, but still disappointed in this chip as well but I do not drop conferences on the Surface Laptop 4.
I'm hoping this is a known issue that has a fix? I tried both installing new drivers from Samsung and Intel and reverting back to old drivers, re-installing windows, making it connect on AC instead of AX and the issue persisted.
I returned the second laptop as well... but it is a REALLY nice laptop and I want to make it work, I just need the wifi issues fixed. Has anyone had this problem and found a fix? My 12 hours of searching, and about an hour of it again today, has yielded nothing.
