Latest Windows Update Makes Linux Support in Windows Defunct
Microsoft has already been struggling with the Windows 10 cumulative updates every month, which were promised to solve vulnerabilities but coming with more bugs than fixes. While this being the case till now, the latest September update released this Tuesday has a different story. Few users reported in Microsoft’s Feedback Hub and GitHub Bug Report forum that, they’re unable to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSFL2) feature after updating to September patch. The update brings systems running on Windows 2004 and 20H2 to KB4571756 build and promises to resolve the SSD issue. Yes, one of the critical bugs that Windows May update delivered is with Disk Optimiser, where it’s bugged to defragment the SSD whenever the system is rebooted. This frequent defragmentation could wear out SSD in the long run, making it useless sooner than expected. Thus, users who’re having this problem may have updated to September patch, hoping that it would solve. But unfortunately, it bought down a feature besides solving the SSD issue. The Windows Subsystem for Linux is defined by Microsoft as that, it “allows you to run Linux command-line tools and apps alongside your Windows command-line, desktop and store apps, and to access your Windows files from within Linux.” Ans since the Microsoft hasn’t acknowledged this issue yet, we think it may take longer than expected to craft a patch for this. Until then, rolling back to the previous version is the only option if you wanted to use the stable WSFL feature.
