WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux The system cannot find the path specified.

[Issue that I’m facing]

Trying to install and launch ubuntu on windows 11 desktop but keep getting this error after running

I am working with some linux utilities using WSL2 working with large files stored on a network share (not on the local machine). I am able to read from the network shares when opening files for processing, but when specifying an output file location on a network share, the utility nevertheless seems to write first to the machine’s local C drive, and not directly write to the network share (a file gets created there, but is 0kb, and presumably gets transferred upon processing). The problem with this is that I only have so much space on my local C drive, and these files are of massive size (which is why they are on a network share with much storage space to begin with). Is there any way to set some setting within WSL2 (universally) to not first write to local temporary storage? Or is it more likely a problem with the utilities I am using? For what it’s worth, genomic datasets with GATK (https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us).

whenever I paste anything in wsl, I get these BOM characters. This doesn’t work well with linux machines. How can I disable these? The expected result is that I can paste text in wsl that is compatible with linux.

I’ve run into a frustrating boot loop issue on my Windows 11 PC after trying multiple methods to enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). No matter what I try, I can’t get past the Windows boot logo screen.

I’m not sure what I did, was trying to clear out Ubuntu when my drive filled up and crashed while using Ubuntu. Now I cannot install.

I was provided a work PC with WSL installed and have added my user to sudoers. I was able to install packages and update (e.g. sudo apt update) but it stopped working a few weeks ago and says my password is wrong.

I try to move the WSL from c disk to other one through cmd firstly, but got stuck for a long time at moving… prompt during import operation, then I quit the operation and try to rerun it and got the error below:
