Hoping for canonical's sake I've just got a broken install, cause the UX is somewhere between nonexistent and useless.

Install & restart. Nothing happens. OK lets launch it. Nothing happens. Lets try that again. Nothing happens. Check windows notification area...ah three copies running silently now. Left click on one. Nothing happens. Right click & close two. Spot a open shell thing in the menu. Click on that it starts a powershell window that says "Starting primary" for 5 mins. No idea what that means but I guess it did uhm something. And then closes itself. Staring at empty (windows) desktop again.

Right click on menu again...says "Start primary" is Running. I don't see anything? Let's try the shell again...open a powershell window which instantly closes itself? Back to staring at my wallpaper.

OK let's try stopping this mystery thing that is apparently running. Nothing happens. Try to start it. Nothing. Try the shell again. Now its back to the 5 mins of "Starting primary".

Window disappears. Again.

OK lets try this a different way. Open my own powershell window copy command it. 5 mins of "Starting foo" later.

>launch failed: The following errors occurred: >foo: timed out waiting for response

...and uninstall

Is virtualization enabled in your BIOS? I don't know if that's the problem but I remember having comparable low-information results when trying WSL the first time.

Should be yeah. WSL 1 and 2 works fine so I assume the virt extensions are active. Will take another look tomorrow though
