Editor to share with you what the new function of wsl in Windows 10 is, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's learn about it!

WSL is a compatibility layer designed by Microsoft that enables Windows 10/Windows Server 2019 to run ELF format Linux binaries locally on Windows computers.

To use this new feature, you need to install a development version that uses Windows 10 and upgrade to Windows 10 Build 21286, which can be done by entering Windows Update to check for updates.

New features of wsl

Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager at Windows Insider Program, said: "We have added an option that allows you to run any specified Linux command when you start the WSL distribution."

"you can do this by editing the / etc/wsl.conf file in your distribution and adding a command line starting with the command title under the tab titled boot."

For example, as shown in the screenshot below, users can use this new WSL feature to record the launch time and date of their WSL distribution.

Once a command like the above is added to the / etc/wsl.conf file of the WSL distribution, the relevant Linux command will be run automatically when the distribution starts.

LeBlanc added: "even if the last Linux process is shut down, the WSL distribution will still run for a few minutes."

"you can check to see if your WSL distribution is running by wsl-- list-- verbose, or you can use wsl-- shutdown to manually close all WSL distributions."

Other new features, fixes and improvements

Microsoft has also updated storage space settings in this version of Windows 10 Dev, which now allows you to create and manage storage space using the Settings application.

The new settings page dedicated to the storage space feature allows you to create storage pools and storage spaces, as well as add and remove disks, and optimize pools.

This version also comes with a simplified version of Windows File Recovery software and a new Windows 10 feature called "News and interests" similar to Google Discover, which uses taskbar pop-ups to display recommended news, sports scores and weather information.

Microsoft also introduced the following fixes and improvements:
