TL;DR - How I can make my computer be on Win 10 Insider build 18945, coming from either 18362 or 18950.
So, I've been playing with Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) for a little bit now, and recently read about WSL 2 so I had to check it out. The way to install the new version is by upgrading to a Windows Insider build. I was on build number 18362.267 , and I read that I needed to be on at least build number 18917 or higher. No big deal. I just went to the Windows settings and set up to get the "Fast" track for the newest preview builds. This put me on build number 18950.
At this point I thought all was good, and went on to mess with WSL to get version 2. After a few failed attempts, I ended up just deleting all my distros, and redownloaded from the store. Set distro version to 2 and everything. But I just could not get into a shell. There seems to be a bug in this build that makes WSL essentially unusable. My problem appears to be the same as mentioned here: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4371so at least they are aware of it.
Anyways, back to my main question point. Someone in that github issue mentioned downgrading to build number 18945, but I just cannot find how to upgrade/downgrade to a specific build number. None of the Slow/Fast/etc insider paths seem to provide the updates I need when checking and rebooting and all that jazz. Am I just missing something obvious here?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
