    WSL Access is denied after updating to Windows 10 - 2004


    On my Windows 10 - 1909 the Windows Subsystem for Linux was working. After updating to Windows 10 - 2004 I'm getting "Access is denied".


    I'm running as local admin.


    Error happens when I using start menu icon, or open cmd as admin.


    I've tried removing the WSL feature, rebooting, reinstall. It did not solve the problem.


    Any recommendations on how if fix WSL?


    Thanks,

    :)

    Windows update in windows 10 failing: datastoreandwulogfiles.zip access denied

    Hello Wendy,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Are you getting any error messages when checking for updates?
    • Confirm the most recent KB update that your computer is trying to install. To check, refer to the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + I, then select Update & Security.
    • Go to Windows Update, select View installed update history.

    Meanwhile, the issue might also occur due to corruption in Windows Update component files. We suggest that you perform the steps in this
    article.

    Also, try to perform the steps below to troubleshoot the "Access Denied" error:

    • Press Windows key + E to open File Explorer.
    • Copy the files that you want to zip.
    • Paste it in the Downloads folder.
    • From there, zip your file. You may follow the steps provided in this
      article      .

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
