so the new windows subsystem (2019 Windows 10 April Release) for Linux is out and my ubuntu subsystem was upgraded.
I'm supposed to be able to open the Linux folder in my windows explorer but I'm not getting the correct folders when I run the command.
falieson#firefly:~$ explorer.exe ~/
Opens the windows user's My Documents folder.
falieson#firefly:~$ explorer.exe .
Opens C:\Windows\System32
My only guess is that when I did the windows install for GitHub desktop and opted into a Linux-ification of my shell it borked this upgrade from Windows.
Thanks for your ideas to resolve this.
This is currently not possible as mentioned in JosefZ comment.
If you have the latest Windows Insider Preview, or you can wait until the next Windows release, that changes as described in the WSL Blog

I'm using SecureCRT at windows 10.
And it's my SecureCRT version
Version 7.2.6 (x64 build 606) - Official Release - August 19, 2014
I want to open windows cmd terminal at SecureCRT.
How to I do it?
The answer is yes. But, you have to upgrade your SecureCRT software.
Local shell sessions are supported in SecureCRT v8.7.x.
You can reference the offical release note.
Open a local shell by [FILE] -> [Connect Local Shell] or press ALT+SHIFT+L
New in SecureCRT 8.7 (Official)
Local shell session (Windows):
On Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 or later, you can open a local shell session within SecureCRT. A tabbed CMD or PowerShell session makes it easy to work on the local system without having to leave SecureCRT. Local shell was already supported on macOS and Linux.
I'm trying to set up a web development environment using a guide on Medium. The author says we need to install Git for both Windows and for Windows Subsystem for Linux. Git takes up a lot of space. Do we need to install it twice?
I have Visual Studio Code and Ubuntu (WSL). I also installed Git for Windows 10.
Git For Windows differs from the Linux Git.
So, if you want to execute commands in a Windows CMD and a Linux WSL shell, then yes, you would need to install both.
On Windows side, that can mean simply uncompressing the self-extracting archive PortableGit-2.22.0-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want, and add it to your PATH.
After some M$ Windows updates Cygwin mintty (desktop shortcut installed by setup-x86_64.exe) starts but ends immediatelly. I tried to install all missing DLL's which can be observed with dependency walker. I installed 2012 and 2008 Microsoft Redistributable packages which were missed on My Windows 7. I installed both builds (x86 and x64). But it didn't help me to get my CygWin back, because as far as I can see from mintty's logs there is a security issue. I've got a log with the only row:
This account is currently not available.
I tried to create passwd file with CygWin's mkpasswd and with this command:
getent passwd %USERNAME%
It didn't help also and I don't have any ideas what to do next.
Now I've got a CygWin installation (Cygwin DLL 2.9.0) with mintty ends immediatelly. I can run Cygwin.bat and use the most of CygWin's functionality, but mintty is more comfortable than M$ Connhost and I want it back.
Something have happened, but today, after an ordinary reboot, mintty begun working.
P.S. It has begun after "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.253.822.0)" and ended after "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.253.973.0)".
I would like to copy the Robocopy.exe file from a Windows 8.1 system and run it on a Windows 7 PC. Both PC's are running the 64bit variant of their respective OS. Is this possible in any way?
At present I just get the error that it "is not a valid Win32 application".
The reason I wish to run it is because the newer version has the /J switch.
This doesn't work. You can't run programs from a newer Windows version in an older Windows version. A you already noticed you get the is not a valid Win32 application error because the new exe is compiled for the higher Windows version (You can see this in Depends.exe under OS Ver).
I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.
