Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen wherewhere for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Aug. 14, MagiskOnWSA is a project that can gain root access on Microsoft's Windows 11 Android subsystem and install the Google Services Framework, with 17,000 Star on GitHub.

However, the project has been officially blocked by Microsoft GitHub. Currently, only one notification can be seen when accessing the MagiskOnWSA repository, and GitHub employees have banned access to the repository due to a violation of GitHub's terms of service.

CTOnews.com also released a tutorial on using this project to root the Win11 Android subsystem last year, which requires Fork the project, building artifact on GitHub, and then installing a dedicated mask Magisk App, so the project has more than 100, 000 Fork.

It is not clear why the project was blocked, and neither Magisk developers nor LSPosed developers have responded on social media.

The Windows 11 Android subsystem (Windows Subsystem for Android) includes the Linux kernel and the Android operating system based on the Android open source project (AOSP) version. This subsystem runs in the Hyper-V virtual machine, just like the Linux subsystem, it can map the runtime and API of App in the AOSP environment to the Windows graphics layer, memory buffers, input modes, physical and virtual devices, and sensors, and can run on Intel, AMD, Qualcomm CPU.
