Immediately crashing

[Waxxx333]

All of a sudden WSL Terminal is immediately crashing when I try to open it.

I also encountered a similar problem.

wsl-terminal was momentarily giving the following error message when it crashed.

assertion "hRes == 0" failed: file "GetVmId.cpp", line 115, function: HRESULT GetVmId(GUID*, const wstring&, int*)

GetVmId.cpp exists in Biswa96/wslbridge2.
Therefore, it seems that wsl-terminal chash due to an error in wslbridge2.

After downloading the latest version (v0.10) wslbridge2_cygwin_x86_64.zip
and unzipping it to wsl-terminal/bin, the problem was solved.

I have the same error. I can only say it started roughly at the same time the new feature in Windows 10 was introduced, where you can have a "Linux" tree on the left side of the Windows Explorer.

I get ...

• This PC
• Network
• Linux <- this is new

On opening you get the internal filesystem via some kind of Samba share presented to the host OS.

Not sure whether this is related to the issue, but the timing was very close.

EDIT: btw, I'm using wsl-terminal-tabbed 0.9.2 on Windows 10.

Also to be clear: I can login to my WSL environments using other terminal emulators, such as Windows Terminal or Hyper etc. fine.
Only my previous shortcut that I used for years and haven't changed doesn't work anymore, like above users already mention.

I was just able to snag that error by attempting to open WSL Terminal from an external drive. Opening it locally crashed too quickly to catch the error. I'm going to do some looking into it now that I have something to work with.

Same. I have also tried different releases of WSL Terminal to no avail.

I saw same thing immediately after windows patching. Thanks Waxxx333, that solved my issue as well.
