   • 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
