LKBEN11738: How to check the version of wsl on windows from the powershell?
Symptom
You need to know if you have the windows subsystem for linux in version 1 or 2.
Cause
Your developers need to know.
Solution
To check the windows subsystem for linux you open a powershell and enter the following command:
PS H:\> wsl --status
Standardversion: 2
Automatische Updates sind aktiviert.
Die WSL 2-Kerneldatei wird nicht gefunden. Wenn Sie den Kernel aktualisieren oder wiederherstellen möchten, führen Sie bitte „wsl --update“ aus.
On the first line you can read the version, in this case we have version 2.
Hope this helps.
