This release requires WinFsp 2019.3 or later. Prior versions will not work.

WinFuse is a suite of software components that allows FUSE file systems to run on Windows. It consists of a kernel driver that exposes the low-level FUSE protocol and a Windows port of the libfuse library compiled as a DLL.

This is the first release of WinFuse and it should be considered of ALPHA quality. Although I am not aware of any such issues, bugchecks, leaks, system hangs and other system problems are a possibility. For this reason I recommend that you try WinFuse in a VM.

I would really appreciate it if you give WinFuse a try and report any problems. This is especially so if you have a low-level FUSE file system that you cannot easily port to Windows; well now you can. Your feedback is very welcome.

Finally note that this release contains the winfuse kernel driver, which exposes the FUSE protocol in the Windows kernel (via DeviceIoControl). It does not contain the wslfuse kernel driver, which will expose the FUSE protocol in WSL1 (via /dev/fuse).
