Rebooting WSL in Windows 1803

Yes, it is.

As an Administrator restart the windows Service "LxssManager" on Windows 10. This does a clean boot of the WSL. The services in the Linux Subsystem - for example xrdp - must be restarted if not enabled for autostart.


  1. WIN+R -> services.msc

  2. Find LxssManager
