Config: Windows 11, 8.2.4 client, multiple WSL distros Bug: Operating System denoted in "Your computers" table is displayed as the last alphabetical GUID of the WSL distro instead of default GUID at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionLxss. Expected: Default distro is chosen/displayed. Workaround: - Find the GUID in the registry of the distro you want Rosetta to use. - Rename GUID to sort last alphabetically (e.g. change to ffff... prefix). - Set value of HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionLxssDefaultDistribution to same new guid. Value of Operating system will now be correct. |
