Doesn't work. Just doesn't do anything.
I installed the service. I start my wsl distro (Stock Debian UWP). I have it set to WSL 2, but the service just does nothing. No changes to host file. When I start the exe with the debug argument, all it says is "starting wsl2host service". Nothing else. Can someone please help? I'm really at a loss.
@boiimakillu Can you check the Windows Services if the WSL2 Host service is running (WIN-R, type services.msc)?
I had to change my password (local password and connected Windows account) and then enable automatic start.
When running it should change the Windows hosts file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Check Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System for messages from Service Control Manager.
First my username was wrong, it had a message about it, then it couldn't log on as a service, and also had a message about that.
i had solved this problem in my computer, i'm not sure it is same helpful for you too ,
open Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application
if error message of wsl2host is "failed to get infos: wsl list all failed: wsl -l -v failed xxxxxx" then remove the wsl2host service and put the exe file into disk C anywhere, reinstall the service and refresh the logs
if error message of wsl2host is "Access Denied" then remove selected status about Read-Only attribute of the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"
