Use Qemu to run EFI files on Windows in the fastest way

EFI-Runner

EFI-Runner is a tool for running EFI files with Qemu Virtual Machine in fastest way. It's CLI app but can be used with Windows Explorer as click to run. Also supports file association.

Requirements

This tool extracts 64-bit Qemu VM, OVMF BIOS image and Shell EFI app itself. But you must install .Net 7 Runtime.

For Powershell version, it probably needs Powershell and Qemu installed. Also you have to put OVMF BIOS image and Shell EFI app to the working directory. You can download them here: EFI-Runner/powershell
