FAQs
Troubleshooting FAQ: How to Install Stable Diffusion on Windows
What should I do if the Python installation fails?
Ensure you're attempting to install Python 3.10.6 and not a newer version, as
compatibility issues may arise with Stable Diffusion. If the installation fails, try
downloading the installer again from the official Python website, run it as an
administrator, and ensure you select the option to "Add Python 3.10 to PATH"
during the setup.
Why can't I clone the AUTOMATIC1111 repository using Git?
Check your internet connection first. If that's stable, ensure Git is properly installed by
running git --version in your command prompt. If Git is not recognized, reinstall Git
and ensure it's added to your system's PATH. If Git is installed but you still can't clone
the repository, verify the repository URL is correct and accessible.

FAQs
The model file download link isn't working. What should I do?
Model file links may change or expire over time. If the provided link isn't working,
visit the official AUTOMATIC1111 GitHub page or community forums for an updated
link. Ensure you're downloading the correct version of the model file compatible
with the AUTOMATIC1111 web UI.
How can I solve "Permission Denied" errors when running scripts?
This issue often arises due to insufficient privileges. Run your command prompt as
an administrator by right-clicking on it and selecting "Run as administrator." If the
problem persists, check the permissions of the folder where you're trying to install
Stable Diffusion and adjust them accordingly.

FAQs
The web UI doesn't start after running webui-user.bat. What's wrong?
First, ensure all installation steps were completed successfully, including Python,
Git, and model file setup. If the script seems to halt or crash, it could be due to
missing dependencies. Run the command prompt as an administrator and
navigate to the stable-diffusion-webui directory. Run webui-user.bat from there,
and look for any error messages in the command prompt window for clues.
How do I know if my GPU is compatible?
Stable Diffusion requires a discrete Nvidia GPU with at least 4 GB of VRAM. You can
check your GPU model by going to "Device Manager" -> "Display adapters" on your
Windows system. For compatibility, ensure your Nvidia drivers are up to date by
visiting the official Nvidia website.

Installation completed, but performance is slow. How can I improve it?
Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date and consider closing other resource-
intensive applications while running Stable Diffusion. Performance also greatly
depends on your hardware specifications. For better performance, using a
machine with higher specs is recommended.
What should I do if I encounter other errors not listed here?

repository's "Issues" section to see if others have faced and resolved similar problems.
