    WSL2 needs a wsl.exe --terminate everytime. Any suggestion?


    I leave my computer always on and attached to the charger. Sometimes, when I leave it a lot of time without using everyday when I wake up the WSL2 system is without connection. The only way to not have this problem and return my connection is if I use the "wsl.exe --terminate" and then open it again. Why this happen? Is there any way so I do not need to type this command to return my connection?

    :)

    WSL2 and new Windows Terminal not working with VPN

    For most of my apps I don't want to use a VPN. So I have a VPN client that supports split tunneling so I can choose whether I want it to use VPN or not on app by app basis.

    The VPN client works fine with different apps but when I try to set it up with Ubuntu WSL/2 and new Window Terminal app (by selecting both Ubuntu 20.04 LTS WSL2 app and the Windows Terminal App)... it doesn't work. When I check IP from Ubuntu WSL2 bash
    terminal (using "curl ifconfig.me") it shows my real IP rather than the VPN ip (the VPN split tunnel works fine when I try to use it with Powershell via Windows Terminal).

    What exact apps do I need to chose for the WSL2 Ubuntu terminal to work with the split tunnel VPN?

    WSL2 for windows

    I have failed into installing WSL for Windows. I have read here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10 how to do it, and at step 4:


    1. Download the latest package:
      [COLOR=var(--text)][COLOR=var(--info-dark)] Note[/COLOR]
      If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo | find "System Type".
      [/COLOR]
    2. Run the update package downloaded in the previous step. (Double-click to run - you will be prompted for elevated permissions, select ‘yes’ to approve this installation.)

    I encountered:

    and

    What I did wrong ? I have the following W10 version:
