    Unable to Uninstall WSL


    Hey,I decided that its was time to uninstall WSL due to it causing issues with another Application, so I uninstalled Ubuntu, uninstalled a WSL Update and WSLg Preview, but when I tried to uninstall WSL from Programs and Features, it rebooted, and then Windows 11 did not start it just got to the Windows Boot Screen, then rebooted. After going into Automatic Repair, I enabled safe mode, and it just rolled-back the Uninstall of WSL.Any Ideas?Thanks,Charlie

    :)

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Unable to Uninstall WSL :confused:

    WSL unable to perform DNS lookup

    Hi my name is Ross, I'm an independent advisor. I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    Try following the steps in this article (Section - Bash loses network connectivity once connected to a VPN) to modify your resolv.conf file and manually add your correct DNS settings.

    If you don't know the correct settings then you can just use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
