    WSL.localhost not accessible


    I'm trying to connect to wsl through file explorer and it keeps giving me this error.Below are all the features that are currently enabled on my computer. Using WSL 2 Not sure what the problem is that is stopping me from accessing Linux from File Explorer. Suppose anyone has any Ideas on how to fix it. I appreciate it.

    Access localhost from another computer

    Localhost, as the name suggests, points at the localhost. Use the hostname or IP from your computer on their PC's. ie something in the 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.x range most likely.

    Access localhost from another computer

    I said I know the difference that localhost refers to that particular machine you are running. Your question is invalid *Smile WSL.localhost not accessible :)

    No Offense.

    I asked this question because the other Computer weren't getting access to the IP as it was blocked on the system running XAMPP as point out by streetfighter 2, which I totally forgot.

    WSL.localhost not accessible

    Since 2022H2: File Explorer slow when Quick Access contains WSL folders.

    After upgrading Windows 11 to 2022H2, the file explorer is slow showing it initial list of Quick Access folders in right panel.



    It seems WSL locations in Quick access is causing the latency.



    Before upgrade:

    - Initial list of folders in right pane was fast. Quick access contains folders of WSL.

    - Accessing WSL folder from Quick Access was slow (very slow).

    - When WSL terminal is open, accessing WSL folder in File explorer was fast.



    After 2022H2 upgrade:

    - Initial list of folders in right pane is slow. Quick access contains folders of WSL.

    - Accessing WSL folder from Quick Access is fast.

    - When removing folders that point to WSL folders from Quick access, initial startup is swift.

    - When adding folders pointing to WSL, file explorer is slow.

    - When WSL terminal is open, initial startup of File Explorer is fast.



    It seems like in previous version of Windows 11, WSL was lazily started when WSL folders were accessed, while after upgrading to 2022H2, WSL is initialized at startup of Explorer when WSL files are in Quick Access.



    I think I prefer WSL to be started lazily since I do not always access WSL based folders.
