Installation

Note

If you have the official Windows Subsystem For Android™ installed, you must completely uninstall it to use MagiskOnWSA.

Important

In case you want to preserve your data from the previous installation (official or MagiskOnWSA), you can backup Userdata.vhdx, located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx before uninstallation and restore it after installation. A guide for this process is located further down in this README.

Go to the Releases page
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")
Extract the .7z archive and rename the folder (that you extracted) to WSA
Delete the .7z archive
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 Windows Subsystem For Android™ 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 Windows Subsystem For Android™ is not installed successfully, you should manually run Install.ps1 as administrator:
  - Press Win+x and select Windows™ Terminal (Admin)
  - Input the command below and press enter, replacing {X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder} including the {} with the path of the extracted folder
```
cd "{X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder}"
```
  - Input the command below and press enter
```
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install.ps1
```
  - The script will run and Windows Subsystem For Android™ will be installed
  - If this workaround does not work, your PC is not supported for WSA
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)
Click on the PowerShell window, then press any key on the keyboard, the PowerShell window should close
Close File Explorer
Enjoy

Notice (Applicable for both Windows 10 and 11):

You can NOT delete the Windows Subsystem For Android™ installation folder. What Add-AppxPackage -Register .\AppxManifest.xml does is to register an appx package with some existing unpackaged files, so you need to keep them as long as you want to use Windows Subsystem For Android™. Check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/appx/add-appxpackage?view=windowsserver2022-ps for more details.
You need to register your Windows Subsystem For Android™ appx package before you can run Windows Subsystem For Android™. For WSABuilds and MagiskOnWSALocal users, you need to run Run.bat in the extracted dir. If the script fails, you can take the following steps for diagnosis (admin privilege required):
1. Open a PowerShell window and change working directory to your Windows Subsystem For Android™ directory.
2. Run the command below in PowerShell. This should fail with an ActivityID, which is a UUID required for the next step.
```
Add-AppxPackage -ForceApplicationShutdown -ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion -Register .\AppxManifest.xml
```
3. Run the command below in PowerShell. This should print the log of the failed operation.
```
Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID <UUID>
```
4. Check the log for the reason of failure and fix it.

Updating

How do I update without losing any of my apps and data on Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

Download the latest build (that you want to update to)
Make sure Windows Subsystem For Android is not running (Click on "Turn off" in the WSA Settings and wait for the spinning loader to disappear)
Using 7-Zip, WinRAR or any other tool of choice, open the .7z archive
Within the .7z archive, open the subfolder (Example: WSA_2xxx.xxxxx.xx.x_xx_Release-Nightly-with-magisk-xxxxxxx-MindTheGapps-xx.x-RemovedAmazon)
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)
When prompted to replace folders, select "Do this for all current items" and click on "Yes"
When prompted to replace files, click on "Replace the files in the destination"
Run the Run.bat file
Launch Windows Subsystem For Android Settings app and go to the About tab using the sidebar
Check if the WSA version matches the latest version/ the version number that you want to update to

Uninstallation

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%\Package\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache folder. For a more comprehensive and detailed guide, take a look at the Backup and Restore section in this README markdown

To remove WSA installed through WSABuild:

Backup and Restore Userdata

Backing Up Your Userdata

In order to make a backup of your WSA data you must copy the Userdata.vhdx (which includes, but is not limited Android Apps and their data, settings etc.), located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx, to a safe location

Restoring Your Backup

Before attempting to restore your backup, you must remove WSA if installed. Then before you run the Run.bat script (to reinstall WSA after removing it), you need to remove these lines from Install.ps1, located in the your extracted WSA folder:

The Lines (as shown below) that you need to remove in Install.ps1 may vary depending on the type of WSA Build that you are trying to install.

Android Settings:

Start-Process "wsa://com.android.settings"

Official Magisk:

Start-Process "wsa://com.topjohnwu.magisk"

Magisk Delta:

Start-Process "wsa://io.github.huskydg.magisk"

Magisk Alpha:

Start-Process "wsa://io.github.vvb2060.magisk"

Google Play Store:

Start-Process "wsa://com.android.vending"

Amazon Appstore:

Start-Process "wsa://com.amazon.venezia"

After running the script, do not run WSA at all, and go to %localappdata%\Packages and (if the folders do not exist, create them) in MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\ paste the userdata.vhdx

Now run WSA and your userdata should hopefully be restored
