|**This repository is designed specifically not to be forked. MagiskOnWSA and some of the various forks and clones that have sprung up on the platform (***potentially***) violate GitHub's Terms of Service due to abuse of GitHub Actions and have been ultimately warned, disabled or banned.**|
|**We would like to say one thing: We respect the Terms and Conditions set out by Github to its users. MagiskOnWSA Builds are built using the MagiskOnWSALocal script, patched in the case of Windows 10 Builds and uploaded onto Github and hence do not rely on the use of Github Actions.**|
|**Therefore, don't fork this repository unless you're a developer and want to modify the code itself and/or want to contribute to this Github repository.**|
> ### Prebuilt Windows Subsystem For Android™ Builds for Windows™ 11 in [Releases](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/releases) HAVE NOT been modified in anyway prior and subsequent to running the MagiskOnWSA script and upload to Github.
> ### Prebuilt Windows Subsystem For Android™ Builds for Windows™ 10 in [Releases](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/releases) ONLY have had AppxManifest.xml, icu.dll and WsaPatch.dll patched according to the WSAPatch guide before upload to Github.
> ### I will move to a more transparent method of building MagiskOnWSA builds soon, due to the overarching concerns with safety, transparancy and build integrity
> #### The same level of scrutiny should be applied with the Windows Subsystem For Android™ builds as with any other program that you download from the internet

> In case you want to preserve your data from the previous installation (official or MagiskOnWSA), you can backup %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx before uninstallation and restore it after installation.
2. In the latest release, go to the Assets section and download the Windows Subsystem For Android™ version of your choosing (do not download "Source code")
5. Move the newly extracted folder to a suitable location (Documents folder is a good choice), as you will need to keep the folder on your PC to use MagiskOnWSA
- If you previously have a MagiskOnWSA installation, it will automatically uninstall the previous one while preserving all user data and install the new one, so don't worry about your data.
- If the popup windows disappear without asking administrative permission and Windows Subsystem For Android™ is not installed successfully, you should manually run Install.ps1 as administrator:
7. Once the installation process completes, Windows Subsystem For Android™ will launch (if this is a first-time install, a window asking for consent to diagnositic information will be shown instead. Sometimes two identical windows will show, this is fine and nothing bad happens if you click OK in both windows)
For [WSABuilds](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds) and [MagiskOnWSALocal](https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal) users, you need to run `Run.bat` in the extracted dir.
4. Select all the files that are within this subfolder and extract them to the current folder where the file for Windows Subsystem For Android are (the folder you extracted, and installed WSA from)
> If you want to preseve your data, make a backup of the `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx` file. After uninstalling, copy the VHDX file back to the `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Package\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache` folder.
- To remove WSA installed through WSABuild:
- **1.)** Make sure that Windows Subsystem For Android™ is not running
- **2.)** Search for ``Windows Subsystem For Android™ Settings`` using the built-in Windows Search, or through Add and Remove Programs and press uninstall
- **4.)** Go to ``%LOCALAPPDATA%/Packages/`` and delete the folder named ``MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe``
- If you get an error that states that the file(s) could not be deleted, make sure that WSA is turned off
- To remove WSA installed from the Microsoft Store:
- **1.)** Search for ``Windows Subsystem For Android™ Settings`` using the built-in Windows Search, or through Add and Remove Programs and press uninstall
- Open an [issue in Github](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/issues) or [join the Discord](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds#join-the-discord) and describe the issue with sufficent detail
- I am not working on the patch, and nor claim to. Open an issue in the Discord or Github, and I will try to assist you with the problem if possible. For full support visit the project homepage and open an issue there: https://github.com/cinit/WSAPatch/issues/
- Location in Windows ---> <br/>`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\diagnostics\logcat`
- As Explained [Installation instructions](#installation). Download the [latest Windows Subsystem For Android™ Version](#downloads) and replace the content of your previous installation and rerun Install.ps1. Don't worry, your data will be preserved
- Do the same as updating Windows Subsystem For Android™. Wait for a new MagiskOnWSA release that includes the newer Magisk version, then follow the [Installation instructions](#installation) to update
- No. Virtual machines like Windows Subsystem For Android™ cannot pass these mechanisms on their own due to the lack of signing by Google. Passing requires more exotic (and untested) solutions like: <https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/discussions/145#discussioncomment-2170917>
- Virtualization is required to run virtual machines like Windows Subsystem For Android™. `Run.bat` helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-run `Run.bat` to install Windows Subsystem For Android™. If it's still not working, you have to enable virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI. Instructions vary by PC vendor, look for help online
- No. Windows Subsystem For Android™ is mounted as read-only by Hyper-V. You can, however, modify the system partition by creating a Magisk module, or by directly modifying the system.img file
- Make sure developer mode is enabled. If the issue persists, check the IP address of Windows Subsystem For Android™ on the Settings ---> Developer page and try
- Request, using [Issues](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/issues), a Windows Subsystem For Android™ version that doesn't include Magisk from the [Releases page](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/releases/latest). Then follow the [Installation instructions](#installation)
- To request a build with custom Magisk or GApps, feel free to open an issue in the [Issues page](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/issues.) You can also achieve this by using the [MagiskOnWSALocal](https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal) Script and following the provided instructions located in the repo.
