I am trying to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux in my PC (Windows 10). I opened a "Command Prompt" window by running it as administrator and ran wsl --install
without changing the initial default folder C:\Windows\system32
. Thus, WSL is installed in this location by default.
Later, I uninstalled WSL by going to Settings -> Apps & Features -> Windows Subsystem for Linux Update -> Uninstall.
Then, I downloaded and installed WSL Update in C:\users\myaccount
. However, when I run WSL from the start menu, it still goes to C:\Windows\system32
.
Is there a way to move this default location of WSL installation to C:\users\myaccount
. Besides, I have noticed that WSL is still in C:\Windows\system32
folder after I uninstall WSL from Settings -> Apps & Features.
