Connect USB Devices with native install

Open LambdaScorpii opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to connect USB Devices to WSL. The only solution is described in:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb

Using a third party tool, from a private developer. This introduces security concerns, as we have seen with SSH even far bigger projects can get compromised.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like the official Build of WSL to include a tested way to connect USB Devices from the Host System

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context None
