>: To request a newer WSA build or a WSA build with a different version of GApps or Magisk (root) or a build without them (root or Google Play), feel free to open an issue in the [Issues page](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/issues).
|**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 WSA 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 WSA 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.

> 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 WSA version of your choosing (do not download "Source code")
3. Extract the zip file
4. Delete the zip file
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're updating WSA, merge the folders and replace the files for all items when asked
6. Open the WSA folder: Search for and double-click `Run.bat`
- 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 WSA is not installed successfully, you should manually run Install.ps1 as administrator:
- Press Win+x and select Windows Terminal (Admin)
- Input cd "{X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder}" and press enter, and remember to replace {X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder} including the {}, for example cd "D:\wsa"
- Input PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install.ps1 and press enter
- The script will run and WSA will be installed
- If this workaround does not work, your PC is not supported for WSA
7. Once the installation process completes, WSA 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)
8. Click on the PowerShell window, then press any key on the keyboard, the PowerShell window should close
> Note: 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%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache` folder.
- 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/
- As Explained [Installation instructions](#installation). Download the [latest WSA 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 WSA. Wait for a new MagiskOnWSA release that includes the newer Magisk version, then follow the [Installation instructions](#installation) to update
- No. Virtual machines like WSA 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 WSA. `Run.bat` helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-run `Run.bat` to install WSA. 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. WSA 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 WSA on the Settings ---> Developer page and try `adb connect ip:5555`
**Magisk online module list is empty?**
- Magisk actively removes the online module repository. You can install the module locally or by `adb push module.zip /data/local/tmp` and `adb shell su -c magisk --install-module /data/local/tmp/module.zip`
- Request, using [Issues](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/issues), a WSA version that doesn't include Magisk from the [Releases page](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/releases/latest). Then follow the [Installation instructions](#installation)
- You can achieve this by using the [MagiskOnWSALocal](https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal) Script and following the provided instructions located in the repo.
2. Move your custom OpenGApps or MindTheGapps ZIP file to the `download` folder and rename it to `OpenGApps-{arch}-{variant}.zip` or `MindTheGapps-{arch}.zip`*(e.g. `OpenGApps-x64-pico.zip` or `MindTheGapps-arm64.zip`)*
2. In GitHub Actions, click on `Build MagiskOnWSA`
3. Choose `Custom (OpenGApps)` or `Custom (MindTheGapps)` in the `GApps Variant` field
