Today, because of a VSC + + error on Windows, I think of WSL. With administrator privileges, the WSL of this computer is installed again.

  1. Set → update → developer options → open development mode
  2. Control panel → program and update → open or close function → WSL function check
  3. Open cmd → input bash → follow the prompts to finish.
  4. After installation, first update the system source to Alibaba cloud. The default is Ubuntu 16.04, xenial.
  • The shell enters the following command:
sudo vi /etc/apt/source.list
  • Delete the original code and replace with the following:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS _Xenial Xerus_ - Release amd64 (20160420.1)]/ xenial main restricted

  • Implementation of update
sudo apt update

Very fast
