Which bash for windows are you using?
Have you checked the documentation of what you installed?

This is what I am running.

Code:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=wily
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.10"

I know that this is off-topic, but support for Ubuntu 15.10 ended on 28 July 2016. I hope that your machine isn't internet-facing. If it is, you would be advised to upgrade to a supported Ubuntu version.

But your subject, and your screenshot, are referencing Windows, not Ubuntu??

You could try the suggestions at the link below or go to a windows support site.

This must be a "recent" problem with WSL. I installed it when it was first announced - back then it was a manual install, and Ubuntu only. No such issues for me. Now it seems it's in the store. I have a new machine I'm setting up for dual booting, so I must try getting it before I do the dual boot - never used the M$oft store ...
