How to collect WSL logs

Download and execute [collect-wsl-logs.ps1](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/blob/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1) in an **administrative powershell prompt**: ``` Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/WSL/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1" -OutFile collect-wsl-logs.ps1 Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force .\collect-wsl-logs.ps1 ``` The script will output the path of the log file once done. If this is a networking issue, please use [collect-networking-logs.ps1](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/blob/master/diagnostics/collect-networking-logs.ps1), following the instructions [here](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#collect-wsl-logs-for-networking-issues) Once completed please upload the output files to this Github issue. [Click here for more info on logging](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#8-collect-wsl-logs-recommended-method) If you choose to email these logs instead of attaching to the bug, please send them to wsl-gh-logs@microsoft.com with the number of the github issue in the subject, and in the message a link to your comment in the github issue and reply with '/emailed-logs'.
