❗ Important:   ⚠️DO NOT FORK⚠️
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.

 

Before Continuing:

Warning

❗ Important:

Prebuilt WSA Builds for Windows 11 in 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 ONLY have had AppxManifest.xml, icu.dll and WsaPatch.dll patched according to the WSAPatch guide before upload to Github.

The same level of scrutiny should be applied with the WSA builds as with any other program that you download from the internet

Installation

Note

: If you have the official WSA installed, you must completely uninstall it to use MagiskOnWSA

1. Go to the Releases page

Note

To request a newer WSA build or a WSA build with a different version of GApps or Magisk or a build without them (root or Google Play), feel free to open an issue in the Issues page.

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

Note: If you're updating WSA, merge the folders and replace the files for all items when asked

6. Open the WSA folder and double-click Run.bat
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
9. Close File Explorer

Help

Help me, I am having problems with the MagiskOnWSA Builds

• Open an issue and describe the issue with sufficent detail

Help me, I am having problems with installing WSA on Windows 10

• I am not working on the patch, and nor claim to. For full support visit the project homepage and open an issue there: https://github.com/cinit/WSAPatch/issues/

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-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

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?

• Request, using Issues, a WSA version that doesn't include Magisk from the Releases page. Then follow the Installation instructions

Can I switch between OpenGApps and MindTheGapps?

• No. GApps will no longer function. Do a complete uninstallation before switching

How do I install custom Magisk or GApps?

You can achieve this by using the MagiskOnWSALocal Script and following the provided instructions located in the repo.
