Hey, I'm also experiencing this issue, though I have not found a solution. If you do please let me know, I'll likely explain a solution if I figure one out myself.

this guy fixed it for me. https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts/issues/195#issuecomment-1433613066 for whatever reason, i couldn't copy anything from bitsandbytes_windows with cmd or PowerShell so i had to do it manually to fix cuda path problem

I had a similar problem and this worked for me. "Make sure to tick the box to add Python to the 'PATH' environment variable" How to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow2jROvxyH4&t=6s

Bitsandbytes was not supported windows before, but my method can support windows.（yuhuang） 1 open folder J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui，Click the address bar of the folder and enter CMD or WIN+R, CMD 。enter，cd /d J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui 2 J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui\py310\python.exe -m pip uninstall bitsandbytes

3 J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui\py310\python.exe -m pip uninstall bitsandbytes-windows

4 J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui\py310\python.exe -m pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/releases/download/wheels/bitsandbytes-0.41.1-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

Replace your SD venv directory file（python.exe Folder） here（J:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui\py310）
