Unable to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you have downloaded Linux Terminal from Microsoft Store and you are getting an error when running the PowerShell command. However, as per the article

Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10 you need to run the PowerShell command first and then install the required Linux distribution from the store. I suggest you to try running the PowerShell command
first and check.

Issue with installing linux subsystem.

Hi,



This error while installing Linux subsystem might popup if the PowerShell environment isn’t run as an administrator. I suggest you to run the Windows PowerShell window as an administrator and see if it helps. To run a PowerShell window as an administrator;
right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose Windows PowerShell (administrator).



If that doesn’t help, restart the Trusted Installer service and set the startup type to automatic.



· Press ‘Windows + R’
keys on the keyboard together to open the Run dialog box and type the following into the Run box:
services.msc

· Locate the Trusted Installer
service, restart it, and set the startup type to
automatic.

· Exit services control panel and restart the machine to see if the issue persists.



However, if the issue persists, I would suggest you to post your query in the
TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals well equipped with the knowledge on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
