    Starting bash through cmd.exe myself starts as different user than directly starting bash...


    So I'm having a weird little problem here. I'm trying to add bash to the new Windows Terminal and I noticed that if I open cmd in it first and then start bash from cmd, it starts bash with my Windows user, but if I start bash using my custom entry in its' settings (with the command being either "bash.exe" or "cmd.exe /c bash.exe"), it starts bash using my WSL user.

    I'm not really sure why the behavior is different depending on how I start bash so any help figuring this out would be much appreciated!

    Bash start error 0x080070013

    Had anyone faced the same issue as I am ??

    Bash shell cant be started as an error appears. Which I have discussed before but with no solution.

    bash error posted earlier

    I have tried

    1. full uninstall and install of lxrun

    2. creating a new user id in windows login and tried after installing bash there.

    there is no issue I confirm regarding read/write permission of system.

    The same problem I faced once more and I get rid of it only after full system update.

    I once again request microsoft to take this bug seriously and make a way to get out of it.

    Bash on Ubuntu on Windows- how to start bash as login shell

    Hello,

    Currently I use build 14379. I would like to get know how to set my bash to start it as login shell as default. Now every time I run bash I have to type `bash --login` I just want to avoid it. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.
