I'm having a really strange issue with turning on the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 and I've scoured the internet to see if anyone has had this issue -- to no avail.
Basically, I click the checkmark for 'Windows Subsystem for Linux' in 'Turn Windows features on or off' and reboot... Except my laptop reboots into repair mode and I have to use a system restore point to even boot the OS correctly. Essentially, my laptop gets bricked if I try to turn on the subsystem.
What I have tried:
- Windows updating
- Turning on with powershell (with admin privileges)
Note that this is NOT an issue with installing any of the unix systems. I am having trouble with activating the subsystem on Windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry if I'm missing any information! I'm rather new to stack. If you guys need anything else, dxdiag/logs I could provide them.
