MagiskOnWSA (also includes Google Play Services)
Installation
Note: If you have the official WSA installed, you must completely uninstall it to use MagiskOnWSA
Note: If you already have MagiskOnWSA installed, you must delete the WSA folder you extracted for it. This will not remove user data
- Go to the Releases page
- In the latest release, go to the Assets section and download the WSA version of your choosing (do not download "Source code")
- Extract the zip file
- Delete the zip file
- 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
- Open the WSA folder and right-click
Install.ps1
, then selectRun with PowerShell
- 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)
- Click on the PowerShell window, then press any key on the keyboard, the PowerShell window should close
- Close File Explorer
Uninstallation

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx

Help
How can I get a logcat?
adb logcat
or
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\diagnostics\logcat
How can I update Magisk?
- Wait for a new MagiskOnWSA release that includes the newer Magisk version, then follow the Installation instructions to update
Can I pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity?
- 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: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/discussions/145#discussioncomment-2170917
Virtualization?
- Virtualization is required to run virtual machines like WSA.
Install.ps1
helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-runInstall.ps1
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
Can I remount system partition as read-write?
- 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
How can I uninstall Magisk?
- Download a WSA version that doesn't include Magisk from the Releases page. Then follow the Installation instructions
