About this project

WSABuilds is a project that distributes prebuilt Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) packages for Windows 10 and Windows 11. The builds are intended to let users run Android applications on a Windows PC without compiling WSA themselves. Key features described in the README: - Prebuilt WSA binaries for Windows 11 x64, Windows 11 arm64, and Windows 10 x64. - Variants that include Google Play Store and Google Play Services via MindTheGapps, as well as variants without GApps (marked NoGApps). - Root solutions built in, including Magisk and KernelSU. - Long Term Support (LTS) releases, with the project stating that Magisk, KernelSU, and GApps versions are kept up to date through new releases. - Additional custom build references, such as a Magisk Delta build, and a separate repository for .msix sources. Requirements and compatibility notes: - Windows 11 build 22000.526 or higher; Windows 10 22H2 10.0.19045.2311 or higher, with a note that older Windows 10 builds may work but could require specific updates. - CPU architecture x86_64 or arm64. - RAM guidance: 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. - NTFS partition required; exFAT is not supported. - Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform features must be enabled, and virtualization must be enabled in BIOS/UEFI. - GPU compatibility varies; Intel HD Graphics 530 and older iGPUs, as well as some Nvidia GPUs, are noted as potentially causing startup or graphical issues. - Custom or modified Windows installations may have issues running WSA. The README also documents known issues, including reports that GApps builds began crashing on Windows 11 builds after June 2025, and provides workarounds such as using NoGApps builds, older WSA builds, or a linked fix. It notes that Microsoft ended support for WSA and the Amazon Appstore on Windows, and that WSABuilds has entered LTS for WSA versions 2311.40000.5.0 and above. Documentation links cover installation, updating, uninstallation, backup and restore of userdata, FAQ, app compatibility, usage guides, troubleshooting, and credits. The project is distributed through GitHub releases and has community channels including GitHub Issues and a Discord server.
