I'm trying to get WSL 2 running. To wit I did the following:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

The next step, according to , is to make a distro use WSL2 vs WSL1. To do that you need to do wsl --set-version <Distro> 2. I tried that, substituting <Distro> for Ubuntu and got the following error:

Invalid command line option: --set-version

So I guess I don't have WSL2 installed idk.

I'm running Windows 10 Build 18362.356.

You need to be on build 18917 or greater, and already have WSL 1 installed

See

Invalid command line options #419

and

WSL 2 install documentation updated to include links to instructions on how to install WSL 1.
