64-bit app won't install on my Galaxy Book S

If you are trying to install or use an app from outside the Microsoft Store on your Galaxy Book S and it doesn't work, it's very likely that the app is not compatible with the special processor in the Galaxy Book S. Apps will need to support either 64-bit ARM or 32-bit x86 processors to work on the Galaxy Book S.

64-bit app won't install on my Galaxy Book S

Your Galaxy Book S contains a 64-bit ARM processor, and emulates a 32-bit x86 processor. This means that apps, games, and hardware drivers intended for use with x64 processors are not compatible. The Galaxy Book S is compatible with a wide range of apps designed for use with 32-bit x86 processors, and many developers may offer versions of their apps that are compatible.

When installing an app, look for a 32-bit version instead if the app’s developer provides one. Otherwise, contact the developer of the app to request information about support for 64-bit ARM, or check the Microsoft store for a similar app.

Pressing the Fn key turns the Function Keys into hotkeys (or shortcuts) for a number of system functions. For instance, Fn + F2 will darken your screen and Fn + F3 will brighten it. If the keys are not responding as expected, they can be easily fixed by adjusting the settings or checking for available updates.

If you have a backlit keyboard, it can be turned on and off with the Fn and F9 keys. If the key combination does not work, you may need to install the appropriate Samsung Settings app on your PC. If the key combination does something else (like turn the screen on and off), this means your model does not have a backlit keyboard.
