I wish there was a way to get lxss updates without being a Windows Insider.

I turned on Insider on my brand new laptop last summer and it immediately overwrote some vendor-supplied drivers by newer-but-broken ones. Result: no sound. I didn't manage to fix it except through a full reinstall. Now that's exactly the sort of problem you need to prepared for when doing the Insider thing, but it sortof ruins the point. I want to beta test lxss, not Paint 3D or some fancy new device driver release schedule.

I'm pretty certain I had WSL running on my system without being a member of Windows Insider. You just need to turn that on if you want to be on the Fast Track...

Parent said WSL updates. You can get WSL but in order to get updates like this one you need Insider builds.

I thought this WSL update came with creators edition? Unless you mean the fast track WSL Updates, but not the other windows updates - which yes, I agree, would be nice.

No, this update comes with Build 16176. Creators Update is Build 15046: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/release_not...

So in order to get it you would need to join the Fast Insider ring...
