Windows加入Insider

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.23545.1000]

It's dev channel.

[Berrysoft]

I wonder how do you understand the version of kernel, and product name:)

[Berrysoft]

I've noticed that there's a patch I could not install - Update Stack Package - (Version 1201.2307.4011.0)

It always fail to install. Is it the reason?

I'm also seeing this. I've tried on two different computers, and on both I get:

wsl: Hyper-V firewall is not supported
wsl: Mirrored networking mode is not supported, falling back to NAT networking

I'm on Windows 11, "Release Preview" ring of the insider's program, OS Build 22621.2283. I get the following with wsl --version.

WSL version: 2.0.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.123.1-1
WSLg version: 1.0.57
MSRDC version: 1.2.4485
Direct3D version: 1.608.2-61064218
DXCore version: 10.0.25880.1000-230602-1350.main
Windows version: 10.0.22621.2283

Here's the contents of my .wslconfig:

[experimental]
networkingMode=mirrored

Hi folks if you're seeing this it's because you're not on the latest version.

If you're on the release preview ring, you need this build or higher (Note the minor number): [Version 10.0.22621.2359

@Berrysoft are you able to move to the canary channel? That should fix you right away. I will check version numbers with the Dev channel.

[Berrysoft]

So...why dev channel could not use the feature? The release note doesn't say that.

The Release notes : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-subsystem-for-linux-september-2023-update/

say the release channel has the networking changes, specifically

Please note this feature is currently only available to Windows Insiders (across all Insider Channels) including the Release Preview Channel with the latest Windows 11, version 22H2 update here. You can get access now by joining the Windows Insider Program and choosing to opt in your device into the Release Preview Channel.

Release Preview Channel

the release preview is on 22621.2283, not 22621.2359, please fix

[Berrysoft]

It also says "across all insider channels", so I thought dev channel should be OK.
