Unable to find any distributions through https://aka.ms/wslstore

[doggy8088]

• Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [版本 10.0.17134.523]

  This is Traditional Chinese version of Windows 10.

• What you're doing and what's happening: wsl after initial installed WSL.

  When I installed WSL by using the following command and restarted the computer.

  Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

  I run wsl in the Command Prompt. It prompt me the open https://aka.ms/wslstore to install distributions. When I open this link, the Microsoft Store show me this:

  

  I checked the link. It return HTTP 301 with Location ms-windows-store://collection/?CollectionId=LinuxDistros. It looks like my Microsoft Store location doesn't have that CollectionId or I can't see this CollectionId in my localization.

  Is there any workaround for this? I mean is there any link can open Microsoft Store correctly?

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

  The link should be opened Microsoft Store with the right collection that all valid distribution been listed.

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: N/A

The link directs me to the right place, so it must be an issue due to that localization.

An immediate work around is if you search for 'linux' on the store, you should see the 'Run Linux on Windows' option which will take you to the store page that the link directs you to.

Here's a screenshot on my computer:

Please let me know if that works on your machine!

@mscraigloewen I'll search WSL for better results. 😄

@mscraigloewen Is this issue solvable by your side? Or where should I report this to?

[craigloewen-msft]

This is something on the store end, not on us unfortunately.

If you're looking to install a WSL distro try following the instructions here it says it's for server but will work on regular Windows as well.

If you're looking to report this I would report it to the store team using the Feedback hub app. You can bring it up by pressing the Windows key and the F key at the same time!

If those solutions work for you I'll close out the issue. :)

It can be closed for sure. Thanks.
