How To Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Solve File System Error (-2147416359) and Virtual Machine Error

Coding isn’t a lazy man’s job.

It took me five days to crack how to install wsl on my Windows 10 Pro hp computer.

It isn’t funny.

I wanted a Linux environment running on my Windows computer for easier development. So, I fired up VS Code and typed this in its Terminal:

wsl - -install

This is the error I got:

Invalid command line option: --install
