Trying to use bash on Windows and got no installed distributions message


When the Windows Store opened, there was no Distro to choose, then I found this command lxrun /install and worked for me as well.

You will get something like this as an output:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>lxrun /installWarning: lxrun.exe is only used to configure the legacy Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution.Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:https://aka.ms/wslstoreThis will install Ubuntu on Windows, distributed by Canonical and licensed under its terms available here:https://aka.ms/uowtermsType "y" to continue: yDownloading from the Microsoft Store... 100%Extracting filesystem, this will take a few minutes...Would you like to set the Ubuntu locale to match the Windows locale (en-FI)?The default locale is en_US.Type "y" to continue: yPlease create a default UNIX user account.

I'm getting a similar bug after trying to uninstall and reinstall.

For me I had to open a cmd prompt as administrator and run lxrun /install


I get this when I have recently rebooted. If I wait 5 minutes, the problem fixes itself !
