  6. Wait for the action to complete and download the artifact DO NOT download it via multithread downloaders like IDM or ADM Download
  7. Unzip the artifact
    • The size shown in the webpage is uncompressed size and the zip you download will be compressed. So the size of the zip will be much less than the size shown in the webpage.
  8. Right-click Install.ps1 and select Run with PowerShell
    • If you previously have a MagiskOnWSA installation, it will automatically uninstall the previous while preserving all userdata and install the new one, so don't worry about your data.
    • If you have an official WSA installation, you should uninstall it first. (In case you want to preserve your data, you can backup %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx before uninstallation and restore it after installation.) (If you want to restore the icons to start menu, please install and use WSAHelper.)
    • If the popup windows disappear without asking administrative permission and WSA is not installed successfully, you should manually run Install.ps1 as administrator:
      1. Press Win+x and select Windows Terminal (Admin)
      2. 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"
      3. Input PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install.ps1 and press enter
      4. The script will run and WSA will be installed
      5. If this workaround does not work, your PC is not supported for WSA
  9. Magisk/Play store will be launched. Enjoy by installing LSPosed-zygisk with zygisk enabled or Riru and LSPosed-riru

  • Why should delete old workflow runs

    Keeping old workflow runs can take up a lot of storage resources and is suspected to be abusive, which can lead to banning

  • Can I delete the unzipped folder?

    No.

  • Why the size of the zip does not match the one shown?

    The zip you downloaded is compressed and Github is showing the uncompressed size.

  • How can I update WSA to new version?

    Rerun the Github action, download the new artifact, 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

  • How to pass safetynet?

    Like all the other emulators, no way.

  • Virtualization is not enabled?

    Install.ps1 helps you enable it if not enabled. After rebooting, rerun Install.ps1 to install WSA. If it's still not working, you have to enable virtualization in BIOS. That's a long story so ask Google for help.

  • How to remount system as read-write?

    No way in WSA since it's mounted as read-only by Hyper-V. You can modify system by making a Magisk module. Or directly modify system.img. Ask Google for help.
