Windows 10: How to remove Linux Subsystem

Hello, I just installed Windows 11. I attempted to install the LSS with Kali. Something went wrong. When I try to launch Kali it says a required component is missing. How do you remove it? For that matter how do you remove anything that was installed through the microsoft store? I have installed about 6 things from there. There is no remove or uninstall button. They are not listed in appwiz.cpl. Not sure I link Windows 11. From the moment it booted, and I went to right click on the taskbar to show my desktop, and found there is nothing there anymore for a menu.

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.
