Running Windows on the Xiaomi Pad 5

Troubleshooting Issues

I can't move files to the Windows folder from Android

If you are unable to move files to the Windows folder, it means you shut down Windows instead of restarting it. To fix this issue, boot back to Windows and use restart, then as it restarts boot to fastboot and use it to return to Android

Device is not recognized in fastboot or recovery

This likely means you don't have (proper) USB drivers installed

• Download QUD.zip here and extract it.
• Open Device Manager and find an unknown device or device with errors that may be called Android, ADB Interface, or QUSB_BULK.
• Right click this devjce, select "Update Drivers" > "Browse files", then select the QUD folder you extracted before.

Charging in Windows does not work

Warning

Do not use a powered USB hub with host mode enabled, this can potentially break your device. If you use a powered USB hub, please use the disable USB host mode guide

Charging in Windows only works on specific cables. Cables that have been known to work are the original Poco X3 Pro cable (identified by the additional orange/red pin in the USB-A port), and the Nimaso 100W USB-C to USB-C fast charging cable.
