WinQEMU 2026.1.4

What's new

Unattended installation of Debian, Fedora and openSUSE, with the desktop of your choice (GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt) or as a console with SSH, and a computer name of your choice for every unattended installation. More guest systems in the wizard, grouped by family, with where to download each one. The window reopens where it was closed, on the same screen. A key held down repeats in the guest, text consoles included. When QEMU stops responding, WinQEMU offers to power the machine off instead of freezing with it. The machine's log copies the details a bug report needs. Restart in the full-screen bar, and the winqemu capture command.

Installing

The recommended way is the Microsoft Store, which also keeps WinQEMU up
to date. Without the Store, use these two files: the package, signed by the Microsoft Store, and its offline licence. In
PowerShell as administrator, from the folder where they are:

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath .\WinQEMU_2026.1.4_x64.msix -LicensePath .\WinQEMU_2026.1.4_License.xml

WinQEMU then appears in the Start menu of every account of this PC. It is the same application as the Store's: the settings,
the library and the virtual machines are shared. QEMU is installed separately (see the README).
