While this is an interesting technical overview, could anyone give me an idea of how to reinstall lxrun? The blasted thing doesn't work for me anymore and there's basically no documentation on how to fix it other than reinstalling Windows 10. Yes, I've tried lxrun /uninstall /full followed by lxrun /install.

Edit: in fact, I think the problem with my installation has to deal with Windows' NTFS not natively being capable of understanding the lxss file attributes...

Delete the directory. And don't touch it from the Windows side ... don't copy anything into it. It's definitely early alpha quality.

By delete, do you mean I can delete %APPDATA%\Local\Lxss from the Windows side? I don't think that will work, as I've already tried that.

Have you stopped lxssmanager?

This might actually work. Thanks!
