But, Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux is not shown in the list of features that can be enabled. Is it possible that it was disabled by the brilliant minds that set up my corporate laptop? Or perhaps the developer package was not properly downloaded -- how to make it re-install? | |

A followup question, if I may: when I'm running Bash now in Powershell there appears to be an encoding issue (the characters appear as boxes). I am running Windows 10 Home Chinese version which for some silly reason cannot have its OS language changed, is that the reason why Bash shows up strangely in Powershell? | |
| Jun 8, 2017 at 7:59 | comment | added | a2xia | Yes, I've done that already as per the installation guide I linked in my original post, even with it enabled it still doesn't show up. (I should also mention, I did ensure that the developer package successfully downloaded as well) | |
