Switch Kernel?

[fsociety3765]

Hi all,

Just got ArchWSL setup and running. One thing I noticed after installing neofetch was the kernel is 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft. I also have an Ubuntu WSL instance and the kernel on this is 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2.

Is there a way to change this?

Thanks,
FS

Hi @fsociety3765
Please upgrade your instance to WSL2.
Please run this command in Command Prompt

wsl --set-version Arch 2

Thank you.

I felt sure it was already on version 2 before. I feel certain I checked this. Bit upon checking just now, yes it is on version 1.
