  1. Is WSL good option when doing important work?


    Hi, wanted to ask if WSL is a reliable option if I have to do some important work, let's say copying large amounts of data.

    On my Linux machines, I have no problems with just running rsync to the choosed endpoint where I can drop my stuff, but sadly Windows doesn't have such reliable third party copying tools.

    Wanted to ask if WSL and mounting the disks I have (which Windows uses too since they are local to the machine!) can cause any problems?

  2. 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.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
