WSL processes show up with a capital starting letter in Windows task manager

[patrikhuber]

Processes run under WSL show up with a capital starting letter in the "Processes" tab in the Windows task manager - so for example "Cmake" instead of "cmake", but it applies to all processes I've seen. See the screenshot.

• Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.402]

• What you're doing and what's happening:

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead: Task manager should show the correct process name, which is lowercase (e.g. cmake)

This might have been fixed in more recent builds. Linux processes are in lowercase on my machine (build 17134).

Okay, cool!
Is there any way to upgrade WSL, or is the only way to switch to Windows Insider builds (or wait until the next "consumer update" is released)?

[ax0]

Only the latter as far as I know.

That would be too bad, thank you @ax0!

I can confirm that this is fixed in Version 10.0.17134.1 (1803) that officially came out today.
