Windows 10: Wsl Freezes on launch

So essentially, I have a hotkey that opens wsl, pastes in commands to run a python script, then kills wsl. and does some other stuff. After running the hotkey a couple of times, I get greeted with a blank screen when wsl opens. Sometimes Wsl freezes first try, I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the hotkey, I've tried adjusting the speed of the hotkey but it wouldn't make a difference. The window won't close out, "taskkill" won't work on it, and every following instance I make is infected with this same issue. I have to restart my computer to fix it, which gets really tedious.

WSL

Version 2 of WSL uses a new lightweight utility virtual machine capability. To enable the lightweight virtual machine and WSL, you need to enable two Windows features: Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux.

To enable these features via the user interface (UI), press the Windows key and enter Windows Features, then click on Turn Windows features on or off.
When the Windows Features dialog appears, check the boxes for Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux.




If you want to make version 2 the default for any Linux distros you install then run the following command:


Code:

Now you can install Linux distro from Microsoft Store it will be running version 2 of WSL.

A distro can be converted between versions of WSL after installation. To achieve this, you use the wsl --set-version command.

This command takes two arguments:

• The name of the distro to update
• The version to convert it to

An example of converting the Ubuntu distro to version 2 is shown here:

Code:

Execute wsl --list --verbose versions of WSL installed distro.

 

WSL in windows Store

Actually, this is a consumer-oriented forum for general Windows 10 questions.

As WSL concerns mostly developers and Enterprise, I suggest asking there.

 

PowerShell does not launch bash.exe

All,

I
am new and trying to learn.

My
issue: When I enter bash.exe in a PowerShell cmd window, my PC does not launch the Ubuntu command. I think Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not in my $ENVath.

Troubleshooting
I have done:

1. Reading
   on the Internet, I can test my $ENVath by typing the following a PowerShell cmd:
   

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
where.exe calc

C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe

It returned the follow:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
calc

(And the calculator displayed
on my PC)

1. Reading
   on the Internet, I can also test my $ENVath by typing the following a PowerShell cmd:
   

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
where.exe wsl

It returned the follow:

INFO: Could not find
files for the given pattern(s).

Here
is the output of $ENVath

PS
C:\WINDOWS\system32> $ENVath

C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Calibre2\;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Users\user-lenovo595\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

Question:

What
would you suggest as my next step to fix the issue?

Thank
you,
