Windows 10: WSL Not Working

Hello,My WSL is not working on my laptop. It crashes immediately after running the Ubuntu app and trying to launch it in the command and PowerShell prompts. I have turned off the hypervisor feature and turned it back on. I have done the same for the virtual environment feature and the WSL features as well. The issue that PowerShell tells me is the app cannot mount the hard drive/file. I have looked at all of the github answers and none of the their solutions help. If anyone has any other possible solutions that would be very helpful.

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.
