Setup Notes
- Windows Defender exclusion:
C:\stable-diffusion-webui-forgeis excluded from Defender scanning. Defender locks model files during scans, preventing Forge from loading them. - Conda env:
forgeenv with Python 3.10. Forge's venv uses this as the base interpreter. - setuptools: Pinned to <71 in the venv to preserve
pkg_resources(removed in setuptools 79+). - numpy: Pinned to <2 for compatibility with scikit-image and other deps.
- xformers: Enabled via
--listenflag. Triton is not available on Windows (harmless warning).
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Garbled/noisy output | Use 1024x1024 resolution (not 512x512). SDXL needs native res. |
No module named 'pkg_resources' |
pip install "setuptools<71" in the venv |
numpy.dtype size changed |
pip install "numpy<2" in the venv |
PermissionError on model file |
Add Forge folder to Windows Defender exclusions |
| No model found | Download a .safetensors model to models\Stable-diffusion\ |
| Slow generation | Add --cuda-malloc to COMMANDLINE_ARGS in run-forge.bat |
