Windows 10: Getting BSOD when opening WSL

All of a sudden today I'm getting a BSOD every time I open WSL with the stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION


Up until today I'd been using this regularly without any problem. I'm not sure what changed or what is causing this. The only thing I did a few days ago was a disk cleanup. Perhaps a Windows update has run since this occurred too?


Is there any troubleshooting I can do or way I can fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WSL in windows Store

Actually, this is a consumer-oriented forum for general Windows 10 questions.

As WSL concerns mostly developers and Enterprise, I suggest asking there.

 

Getting BSOD 0x124 error

Ignore what everone said here.

0x124 BSOD is usually related to VCCIO (VTT), run Prime95 version 26.6 with custom sizes of 512K to 640K with 50% of your memory for at least 8 hours.

If you get a 0x124 BSOD, increase VCCIO voltage by small steps, run Prime95 again until your stable.

If you pass Prime95 512K to 640K without a BSOD, then its Vcore too low. I'd suggest running IntelBurnTest with 80% of your memory to verify stability (8 to 12 hours).

Oh, and yeah, if this problem appeared all of the sudden, the reason is CPU degradation, you can prevent it by enabling C-States or adjust your overclock to use lower voltages.

 

Recovering Debian WSL after restting PC

Hi stéphane70,

Thank you for sharing a few details about yout concern. To get your Debian WSL
installed on your Windows 10, I recommend the steps suggested on this article. You might also want to check the
distros available after the installation for your reference. If you still get the same error
message, I advise that you perform a clean boot first and seek if the issue still re-occurs. There might
be a program that is preventing your WSL to be installed. However, if you still get the same issue, then the next steps is
creating a new user profile and naming it as
test. By doing so, we'd be able to eliminate the possibility of a certain setting hindering the installation.

I'll be waiting for the results and your response to assist you for there.
