    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.



    For more information on Windows Subsystem for Linux, please refer the articles

    Windows Subsystem for Linux Documentation     and

    Troubleshooting Windows Subsystem for Linux    .



    If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in
    TechNet forums    , where we have support professionals and experts on this query to assist you with the appropriate details.
