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

3. Extract the zip file
4. Delete the zip file

6. Open the WSA folder and double-click Run.bat

9. Close File Explorer

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
