xWSL is configured to use Bonjour (Multicast DNS) for easy access in WSL2

Example of conversion to WSL2 on machine name "ENVY":

  • Stop WSL on ENVY:
    wsl --shutdown
  • Convert the instance to WSL2:
    wsl --set-version xWSL 2
  • Restart xWSL Instance:
    schtasks /run /tn xWSL
  • Adjust the RDP file saved on the desktop to now point at the new WSL2 instance:
    ENVY-xWSL.local:3399
