Crashes on startup

[larsmartinx]

I haven't run Bash in a week or two, but when opening it today it crashes immediately on startup. For a fraction of a second I see the window opening, before it closes with no error. Build 14393. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Linux subsystem in Windows Features, still same error. Any idea?

Could you run bash.exe from a cmd prompt to see what the error code is?

Doh! Why didn't i think of that... -_-
Error: 0x80070005

I found the solution here, after searching for the error code, only I didn't find the lxss folder after reboot.

@davidedimauro88 - Sorry to hear that it is still not working for you. Can you try these steps and see if that helps?

lxrun /uninstall /full /y
Reboot
Open an admin prompt or through explorer, delete all the content under the %localappdata%\lxss directory.
Install using bash.exe or "LxRun.exe /install"

This reinstall worked where the reinstall from WIndows Features didn't. Thumbs up!
