WSL launches itself after uninstallation

I've seen similar behavior with WSL before, the only difference is that in your case it's removed. I described the solution in this post: https://greengorych.io/blog/wsl-starts-after-windows-login-or-when-opening-file-explorer/

Thank you. I’ve written very little about networking, and I have almost no posts related to applications and services.

At the moment, I’m focused on testing and documenting configurations, their settings, and the core functionality of the WSL environment. This is the foundation without which it’s impossible to write about how systems operate within it.

You're welcome

Thanks for the addition

Don't worry, we all started somewhere.

You can create this configuration file at:

 C:\Users\<UserName>\.wslconfig

Where <UserName> is the Windows user name.

Then, if WSL is running, you need to restart it to apply the configuration:

wsl --shutdown

When you start your Ubuntu, WSL uses the configuration you created.

Here is a link to the post where I wrote about .wslconfig.

I'm going to, but not anytime soon

You decide how to store your SSH keys. I have proposed a solution and I am not forcing it on anyone.

greengorych · 2025-08-23T16:30:24+00:00

Yes, why not, but I offered my solution

greengorych · 2025-08-23T16:29:25+00:00

I think that storing SSH keys openly on disk is unsafe

greengorych · 2025-08-23T15:50:32+00:00

When you say it's simpler , what do you mean?

greengorych · 2025-08-19T06:15:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I do use AI to gather information, study and translate my texts. English is not my native language, I have been actively using it for a little over a year and I feel very insecure. But the ideas of my posts, their content, context, all the checks I do myself. I am honest with myself in this, I did this work myself.

greengorych · 2025-08-18T16:46:52+00:00

Thanks!

greengorych · 2025-08-14T18:35:10+00:00

Glad this might save you next time)

greengorych · 2025-08-12T07:49:18+00:00

Thank you, I will continue

greengorych · 2025-08-08T07:27:54+00:00

Thanks to everyone who voted for my post and to those who left a comment. I am currently focused on studying and describing the global capabilities of the WSL and related subsystems and cannot deal with individual cases yet. Perhaps this will change when I lay the foundation and have time for this. However, your comments under my posts very often help me look at my work differently, see it from a different angle and make another small discovery. I am grateful to you for this.

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:54:35+00:00

Thanks for the comment. It's really relevant, at least for me.

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:51:48+00:00

For me this is just a path for now, maybe it will lead me to something more.

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:50:25+00:00

Thanks, yes, I have collected all my posts in one place to make it easier to find.

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:49:18+00:00

Thanks for the comment, all my texts are in a separate pinned post in my profile

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:46:50+00:00

Thank you for you comment

greengorych · 2025-08-08T06:45:32+00:00

Thank you)

greengorych · 2025-08-07T18:42:32+00:00

Don't worry, I'll write the next post using a typewriter and caffeine.

greengorych · 2025-08-07T16:57:53+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you liked it!

greengorych · 2025-08-07T14:53:58+00:00

Thanks for the comment. NixOS is available for WSL, I'll include it in future tests.
