• Log WorkingDirectory when CreateProcess fails (solves "Invalid argument" when executing Windows commands on Ubuntu 20.04 #6170)

Missing from the release notes:
Kernel upgraded to 5.15.137 from 5.15.133.

p.s. curiously to know when will wsl2 upgrade the kernel to 6.1 by default or maybe upgrade to 6.6 is planned in the near future and 6.1 will be skipped?

Good question - we're still trying to sort out a what seems like a regression in the storvsc driver which is causing seemingly random corruptions when reading from the VHD. Once we figure that out, we will update the kernel to 6.1

Hi

There are 2 NUMA on servers or some computers. Is it planned to bring support for 2 NUMA? It's currently using only 1 of 2 CPUs.
