You must launch Debian once from the start menu to register it with the operating system.
Does that help?

After you launch Debian, launch Terminal. Send a copy of your settings.json.

This is very strange. Windows Terminal should automatically detect this. It runs the code to detect WSL every time it is launched.

After using a Desktop computer with this configuration :

- Intel Core i7-8700K  3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Max Turbo)

- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

- Windows 10 Home 64-bit

- Memory: 16384MB RAM

and Turn on those services :

  • Hyper-V with (Hyper-V Management & Hyper-V Platform)

  • Virtual Machine Platform

  • Windows Subsystem for linux

And then restart the computer and install windows terminal and Debian and when i install it and launch it for the first time from the Debian icon its work and then i find it on my Windows terminal Also i use the same Microsoft account.

Thank you for helping 🙏

Weird that this seemed to just not work on one laptop. Glad you got it figured out!

(P.S. The guids aren't sensitive info - I can tell you for a fact that the powershell, cmd, and azure GUIDs you have are "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}", "{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}", and "{b453ae62-4e3d-5e58-b989-0a998ec441b8}" (respectively), since those are static values 😄)
