Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Navigating Directories in Windows Explorer

If you want to view WSL directories in File Explorer, the correct way is to open the directories through a NETWORK PATH by opening a file explorer and using this address:

\\wsl$

You can also specify the distro like so:

\\wsl$\Ubuntu

And finally you can just open WSL, navigate to the folder, then run

explorer.exe .

Which will open a file explorer at that location.
