I'm on a Windows 11 computer (latest updates all around) and trying WSL on it. I tried Windows Terminal (WT) from the Microsoft Store, which opened Windows PowerShell (WPS) (so WT is just a wrapper for WPS?), then I typed wsl. That gave me some nice how-to output, and based on that I ran this:
PS C:\Users\Me> wsl --install The requested operation requires elevation. Installing: Virtual Machine Platform Virtual Machine Platform has been installed. Installing: Windows Subsystem for Linux Windows Subsystem for Linux has been installed. Installing: Ubuntu Ubuntu has been installed. The requested operation is successful. Changes will not be effective until the system is rebooted. PS C:\Users\Me>
So... the requested operation requires elevation, then the requested operation is successful. I'm confused 😅 I'm glad it was successful, but this looks contradictory, and I'm concerned now that I'll have a bunch of snags to troubleshoot because it may be missing things it "required".
Or is the error just wrong? What exactly in the installation needs elevation?
If I run it again like sudo wsl --install, a suggestion I found here - #9032 (comment), though it's a year old, and I have no idea if that will even be recognized in my WPS at the moment. Will that just do a full reinstall, or what? Honestly I'm just trying to get Node.js + nvm installed for VS Code, and I'd much rather use a *nix-like for it.
