Oct 17, 2022 at 4:10 comment added NotTheDr01ds @user173972 It's not still giving you gzip issues when attempting to open a folder in VScode, though, is it?

Oct 17, 2022 at 3:35 comment added user173972 Thanks for getting back, it's showing NAME: Ubuntu-22.04 STATE: Running VERSION: 2. I followed your instructions to enable VTT and VT-d in BIOS, ran wsl --set-default-version 2 in PowerShell and uninstalled Ubuntu and reinstalled it through the MS store. This time I got the orange graphical install and I could even sign up :) I still can't open folders in VS Code from the WSL command line.
Oct 17, 2022 at 2:16 comment added NotTheDr01ds @user173972 The gzip issue should be resolved by a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y. See this answer for details, and let me know if that's still not working for some reason. The root issue is one that you really should take care of, though. What's your wsl -l -v show now -- Ubuntu or Ubuntu-22.04?
Oct 17, 2022 at 0:49 comment added user173972 thank you so much for walking me through this, I really appreciate your help and patience. I ended up switching to WSL 1 last night before seeing your answer this morning (I'm in NZ), but encountered a problem with gzip. I've added an update to my post, but would totally understand if you don't have the time to look into it as it's a different problem from the one in my original post.
