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.

Troubleshooting FAQ: How to Install Stable Diffusion on Windows
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.
