❗ N.B. As of December 2023, this appears to be (sort of) solved.
After running with systemd enabled for quite some time, out of nowhere
WSL-interop stopped working 😕 Appears to be a known issue:
microsoft/WSL#8843
– follow the thread from there for more details...
To fix the issue, create
📄 /usr/lib/binfmt.d/WSLInterop.conf as shown in this
repository and restart WSL. To check if things are now loaded properly, use the
below (or simply call cmd.exe 😇).
sudo ls -Fal /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
sudo cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/WSLInteropI've added a check to 📄 .bashrc.d/05-wsl (which tests
interop by calling cmd.exe /c ver) as I've now spend too much time
troubleshooting the subtle and unexpected ways in which this breaks my WSL
setup...
