Windows 10: Ubuntu Subsystem takes forever to boot

I recently installed the Windows System for Linux and the distro that I choose was Ubuntu. Though after when I tried to log on to Ubuntu after I woke up, it just was stuck in booting and didn't actually load for like 10-15 minutes. I'm not sure what the problem is and this is just really annoying

Windows 10 subsystem for Linux, Ubuntu

Can Ubuntu or Linux be run on Windows 10 subsystem in full mode such as running Hadoop, Hive, Java in Ubuntu subsystem of Windows 10? Or just the basic bash, sudo commands only?

Windows 10 subsystem for Linux, Ubuntu

Hi Anmol,

We understand that you wanted to run Linux or Ubuntu on a Windows 10 subsystem. We'd like to know if you wanted to run this via remote access or as a separate OS?

Looking forward to your response.
