Issue trying to open GWSL 1.4.0

[TwelfthDoctor1]

When I am trying to open GWSL (store version), nothing happens. So I decided to check dashboard.log and this error is listed there:

2022-08-27 16:10:57,444 - GWSL 1.4.0 - ERROR - Exception occurred - Config generation
Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Im not sure if it is able to find settings.json (I guess not) even though it was able to create it based on this error.

Also this error does not allow GWSL to continue running.

Can you screenshot the contents of appdata/roaming/GWSL

[TwelfthDoctor1]

What drive is appdata in?

[TwelfthDoctor1]

Its on the C: drive.

[Pololot64]

That is strange... Hmm try deleting the GWSL folder and reopening GWSL

[TwelfthDoctor1]

Welp that did not work. This is the error that I get.

[Pololot64]

Hmm.. I can only think of reinstalling GWSL completely.. It may be the antivirus

[TwelfthDoctor1]

Welp even with a reinstall, it sadly still fails. As what you said, it could most likely be an antivirus issue but since the device is enrolled into a work/school, I do not have control over the antivirus settings for Windows Defender.

[Pololot64]

Sorry :/. Something is simply blocking GWSL from working and I can't really bypass that

[TwelfthDoctor1]

Yeah. I guess for now I'll have to use GWSL on another device that I've tested it to be working.

👍 Will close for now
