    WSL does not show a command line prompt.


    Hi,


    I have trouble starting WSL. The window opens, but I cannot type anything. It is showing a black/blue window with a blinking prompt. I rebooted my system and it still doing that. Any idea how to fix this?

    :)

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile WSL does not show a command line prompt. :)

    WSL does not show a command line prompt.

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
