  2. WSL broken in 25188 - can't start Ubuntu

    Hi,

    Does setting version 1 as the default help?

    • wsl --set-default-version 1
    Or, try installing it from Microsoft Store.

    Also, check out this GitHub discussion where other workarounds are posted.

    Is WSL Ubuntu drive encripted by BitLocker?

    How do I open WSL Ubuntu?

    I have launched the GUI and when I attempt to re-install WSL and Ubuntu, a message replies that they are already installed. I have no idea how to launch them. When I click the Ubuntu icon at the Start menu it takes me to PowerShell with the command line "my username and my computer name :~$"

    What would you suggest that I enter after the :~$
