First, what version have you used
Second, after click to open Files and the dialog appear, you should click again (Sometime my WSA have this stupid problem too)

[wavelov3r]

I've used this one:
WSA_2308.40000.3.0_arm64_Release-Nightly-MindTheGapps-13.0-as-Pixel-5-RemovedAmazon.7z

Extracted with 7z.
When i click on "Files" is shown another popup, who loads the subsystem. At this point the microphone is opened every 6-7 seconds, i see the icon switching on and off on the windows menu bar (control panel say it's used by WSA), and after some minute the popup crash and closes, without errors. I can click another time on Files, and it does the same.

Can you try v2309 (Insider Build)

[wavelov3r]

It does not work. To be honest doesn't work with other authors releases too....
Changing the product.vhdx image it starts, by with no apps (no traces of the Google play app).
I've tried to build a custom WSA injecting myself the Google apps, but the vhdx image stops me.

It hangs here, notice the mic icon (who appears and disappear)

[YT-Advanced]

Hmm, strange. You should check original WSA (unmodified) to make sure that it is not our bug
https://github.com/bubbles-wow/WSA-Archive/releases/tag/2309.40000.5.0

[wavelov3r]

WSA_2308.40000.1.0_arm64_Release-Nightly-MindTheGapps-13.0-as-Pixel-5-RemovedAmazon.7z

this one is working right now

i have reinstalled the insider version (Same build number with gapps), and it hangs with the microphone issue.
nave noticed also that the Language is English when it crash.
the screenshot is the original WSA linked.

[MustardChef]

@wavelov3r Report this issue to Microsoft via the feedback hub.

[wavelov3r]

@MustardChef ..maybe I badly explained myself.
The linked version works, in italian. (https://github.com/bubbles-wow/WSA-Archive/releases/tag/2309.40000.5.0)

The insider version does not, in english.

@s1204IT Maybe our recent makepri caused the issues ?

@s1204IT Maybe our recent makepri caused the issues ?

It works in languages ​​other than English after I made the changes (checked in Japanese)

[wavelov3r]

just to make a small recap:
With releases > 2308.40000.1.0.arm64, it hangs at start, and silent crashes:

• When it happens, the UI interface is in english
• While hanging, the microphone is activated in loop every 5 seconds
• Seems that it hangs when trying to download Google updates from internet (3 "starting windows Subsystem" popup Windows hangs)

fyi since yesterday i have hard reset the device 2 times.

[YT-Advanced]

Hmm, so v2307 worked, right ?

[YT-Advanced]

@s1204IT Wait, seem like we used makepri from x64 to build arm64 too

honestly i nave not tried it, i will do if necessary (so my recap is wrong 🙃)

Okay, I'll fix it later.

@wavelov3r Also what is your app language in WSA v2307 ? Thanks

[wavelov3r]

It works, is in italian

[s1204IT]

It seems that it is not possible to merge arm64 PRIs on Actions.
Therefore, only arm64 needs to be merged separately during installation.

@wavelov3r
Please try this built artifact

Wait, that output itself is strange.
Because at least you've already removed the code related to that output.

[wavelov3r]

Sorry for late reply. I've tried also lauching makepri.ps1 on an installed version, and on a clean system. the issue persist (crash), also when no errors are shown in the installation process

I see. It is quite strange because we have reverted all changes :(

[s1204IT]

We'll investigate this issue a little further, so please help us.

[YT-Advanced]

@wavelov3r Hello, I'm back

• First, uninstall your current WSA
• Then download both latest version and v2307 from this repos
• Extract both folder
• Copy makepri.exe file in arm64 folder from v2307 to latest WSA folder
• Install
  Thanks !

[wavelov3r]

Used makepri.exe from v2308.40000.1.0 (last working) to v2308.40000.4.0 on a fresh Os. (no makepri.exe in v 2307.4000.6)
It gives an error

Bur now It's in italian. i have tried to overwrite the makepri.ps1 file also, with no success.
if i install it 2 times (without uninstalling, but killing wsa process and skipping the finish function the first install), it gives no errors the second time, but fails to start.

When it works, it download something (a popup notification from WSA appears, who tells finished update), and then is shown google play and main settings screen. Does it hangs retrieving the update?
PS: where is WSA_2308.40000.1.0_arm64_Release-Nightly-MindTheGapps-13.0-as-Pixel-5-RemovedAmazon.7z ?

[wavelov3r]

..another thing i've seen, my userdata file is always named userdata2.vhxd (don't tell me why).... Also with working install.

[YT-Advanced]

So is overwrite the file worked

[wavelov3r]

Nope.

[YT-Advanced]

Hmm, now I don't have any idea

[wavelov3r]

The mustardchef releases also doesn't work. They behave the same.
When i update the working (old) version, overwriting with new files, google play popups, but hangs.

Do you know other wsa builds?

Sorry for late reply. I have uninstalled previous version and installed this one. The app is in local language, but it still hangs at start. This time the microphone is not activated avery Xseconds.
