🐛 Issue: Installation Fails with run.bat (Admin) / Apps Crash After Install

[lualreyco]

Describe the bug

I’m experiencing the same issues reported in this thread. When attempting to install using run.bat with administrator privileges, the script fails to recognize "install.ps1", preventing proper installation. If I run the installer without admin rights, it completes, but:

The Magisk app is not installed.

Apps such as Play Store open briefly and then close immediately.

I recently reinstalled Windows 11, and I have not applied the latest updates yet, waiting for Microsoft’s next patch because previous updates have corrupted files on my system. This suggests the bug may be triggered by Windows 11 configurations, possibly in combination with how the installer handles permissions.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Run run.bat as administrator.
2. Observe that install.ps1 is not recognized.
3. Run run.bat without admin rights.
4. Observe that installation completes but Magisk and apps fail to run.

Expected behaviour

• Installer should recognize install.ps1 even with admin privileges.
• Magisk should be installed properly.
• Apps like Play Store should launch successfully.

Additional context

This seems related to Windows 11 permission handling or recent system updates.

Is this a known issue?
Is there a workaround or patch that fixes the missing Magisk app and crashing apps (like Play Store)?
Any guidance on a patch or workaround would be greatly appreciated @MustardChef 🙏.

It's a suggestion made by the dev.

I have similar issues. When I run without admin, I do not get Magisk, but when I do I get Magisk. However all apps close 1-2 seconds after opening. I tried 593 and it worked for stable builds. All apps offline were working, and some online ones like Youtube, however online games like Clash Royale failed (and perhaps others I tried 3 mmo games and they all behaved similarly). My goal is to play iphone games on pc.

(Failed solution below)
I am now going to try 593 method on the unstable LTS builds to see if they work with online games. I will comment my specs and other details if it works.

The exact same issues are present in LTS. It is even more unstable then the stable builds prior. Anyone know a solution for mmo games? Clash royale instantly shuts down. I take it back, this build does not even connect to the internet consistently, do not recommend this solutions.
