[tingjan1982]

This bug-tracker is monitored by developers and other technical types. We like detail! So please use this form and tell us, concisely but precisely, what's up. Please fill out ALL THE FIELDS!

If you have a feature request, please post to the UserVoice.

If this is a console issue (a problem with layout, rendering, colors, etc.), please post to the console issue tracker.

Important: When reporting BSODs or security issues, DO NOT attach memory dumps, logs, or traces to Github issues. Instead, send dumps/traces to [email protected], referencing the GitHub bug number. Ideally, please configure your machine to capture minidumps, repro the issue, and send the minidump from "C:\Windows\minidump".

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
  10.0.15063

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
  I was unable to launch Bash so I use lxrun to uninstall and install Bash again and it returned error code:
  Error: 0x80070005

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
  I expect Bash to be re-installed successfully.

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If some_command is failing, then run strace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents of some_command.strace in a gist here)

See our contributing instructions for assistance.

I think I was able to fix this by deleting all content in C:\Users\joelin\AppData\Local\lxss. Thanks to this post:
