Rebooting Ubuntu on Windows without rebooting Windows?

Vous pouveznot reboot a distro with a single command. You must shut down and boot up the distro with two commands. If you run wsl.exe instead of wsl, then it works both in WSL Bash & CMD.

View the list of distros and their current state:

wsl.exe -l -v

Shutdown everything: Build 18917+

wsl.exe --shutdown

Terminate a specific distro: Windows 1903+

wsl.exe -t <DistroName>

Boot up the default distro (marked with *):

wsl.exe

Boot up a specific distro:

wsl.exe -d <DistroName>
