Event details
- Is there _any_ chance at all that the team will put any kind of meaningful effort into solving the long-standing problem of WSL trashing systems by consuming every available resource: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6982 Two years and _hundreds_ of confirmed repro's ... and the only one seemingly taking any kind of interest in it is a Microsoft retiree.

Thanks for participating in today's AMA: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 22:25.
- Is this correct? I don't hear this question mentioned at 22:00.
- System administrators are charged with keeping all computers patched and secured at all times. What tools are available to them to keep WSL installations, which are essentially computers running Linux, updated as promptly and comprehensively as we do for our Windows machines?

- I'd like to deploy WSL along with pre-reqs and a Linux distro to my workstations in an automated fashion via ConfigMan or Intune. I can get things to work if I am logged to the workstation as local admin but for some reason the same scripts fail when deployed via ConfigMan or Intune. Any tricks or suggestions?

- What steps should you take to manage and secure WSL installs? I saw the announcement at Ignite around the new Defender plug-in for WSL which is in progress

- It seems as though WSL won't install via UAC - the interactive logon session needs to be signed in directly with a user that has admin rights. Will this be fixed soon please? This also breaks using anything else to enable WSL, e.g. SCCM, PowerShell/PowerShell Direct, and probably also Intune. There's also apparently a clock sync issue in WSL. I've worked around it using chrony and the Hyper-V PTP time source, but this really needs sorting urgently (unless it has been and I've missed it!). Otherwise, WSL works really nicely 😄

- The long-standing issue preventing developers from working with WSL due to the WSL filesystem hanging needs sorting ASAP!! It's mentioned multiple times in https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6982 I'm now having to migrate to using a separate Linux box simply because WSL keeps hanging every couple of days and having to restart it with taskkill /f /im wslservice.exe

I have IOC to block some domain, its working on host (win 11) but not working on WSL instance (ubuntu 22.04). Defender plugin installed and onboarded. Is this expected behavior of wsl instance ?
