    Hi there,

    Check which version of WSL you are running.

    You can list your installed Linux distributions and check the version of WSL each is set to by entering the command: wsl -l -v in PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt.

    It is also recommend that you regularly update and upgrade your packages using the preferred package manager for the distribution.
