I would like to add that this is not an isolated incident, but many people have been having this issue/ are still having this issue.

Check microsoft/WSA#309

Check microsoft/WSA#309

Ah, so that is the reason for this.

[Howard20181]

Not thing we can do.

Not thing we can do.

Turn off the setting "Block installation of malcious apps" will work ?

No.
Only work if you disable antivirus.

[YT-Advanced]

Only work if you disable antivirus.

Hmm, so sad :(

I would like to add that some users are also having their Play Store app crash without installing anything. Is this also to do with the WSA stated earlier

Did only the Play Store crash (single app) or the entire WSA crash (entire WSA reload)?
Logs are needed to know what happened.

On behalf of @MustardChef I will be providing some visual evidence and logs (they may not be 100% accurate to the videos as they were recorded in an earlier time). There are two parts in the investigation:

1. Installing WSA with Magisk and Play Store without AmazonAppstore:

WSA seems to be running in the background, setting up stuff that is required for it to work properly. However, no apps get installed and Android Settings appears to launch but will not load, ultimately killing itself altogether. I restart the whole laptop (part 2).

2. Signing in to Play Store before trying to install an app (Instagram)

Play Store seems to crash before installing any app, I'm suspecting maybe something trying to get installed/updated in the background like Play Services or AR Services. There are no notification pop-ups indicating any installations or updates.

Try turning off all manually installed antivirus software, leaving only Microsoft Defender.

[marchingon12]

Installing works without any crashing when only Microsoft Defender is on, it's quite apparent to your findings on microsoft/WSA#309

[Howard20181]

From the logs, the line I FileSystemRedirectionHandler: Package verification request always appears a few seconds before the system crashes.
When installing the application, WSA will call FileSystemRedirectionHandler to forward the file to the antivirus software on Windows for real-time scanning, regardless of whether the "Prevent malware installation" is disabled (this feature will prevent the installation of malware when it is turned on, and pop-up notifications when it is turned off, so it needs to be scanned whether it is turned on or off), but some third-party antivirus providers incorrectly implement the engine display name, which can cause WsaClient to crash.

There are several situations that may trigger a Package verification request

1. when trying to install Magisk App during a new WSA installation
2. The Play Store will update itself automatically when needed
3. The Play Store will update the Play service when needed (this can happen at login)
4. Installing the app by any method (including installing on the Play Store)
