FORKING NOT REQUIRED
MagiskOnWSA (also includes Google Play Services)
Note: This repository is designed specifically not to be forked. This does not use the same mechanism as the original MagiskOnWSA. Don't fork this repository unless you're a developer and want to modify the code itself or want to download a specific configuration of WSA not already available in the Releases page.
Installation
Note: If you have the official WSA installed, you must completely uninstall it to use MagiskOnWSA
- 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
Note: If you're updating WSA, merge the folders and replace the files for all items when asked
- Open the WSA folder and double-click
Run.bat
- 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

Help
How do I get a logcat?
adb logcat
or
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\diagnostics\logcat
How do 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
What is virtualization?
- Virtualization is required to run virtual machines like WSA.
Run.bat
helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-runRun.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
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 do I uninstall Magisk?
- Download a WSA version that doesn't include Magisk from the Releases page. Then follow the Installation instructions
