WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04.1

Other Software

Repro Steps

Windows v 22H2, with all windows updates applied.
Xilinx webpack installed on WINDOWS.
WSL installed from Microsoft store.
WSL is enabled in Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn windows features on or off

Xilinx tools (ise.exe, impact.exe) will not launch, they hang during launching and can only be killed from task manager.
Disabling WSL in control panel allows them to launch successfully.

This only seems to happen once update KB5020030 is installed, before this update WSL and Xilinx programs worked together correctly.

Expected Behavior

Xilinx tools launch correctly.

Actual Behavior

Hang during launch of Xilinx programs.

From the logs it doesn't look like any parts of WSL are running or being started. I think this issue should get run by the folks at Xilinx.

Are you using WSL1 and WSL2?

I stumbled upon this github issue after experiencing this problem myself. I found an explanation and solution here, which I figured I might as well share here to potentially save some headaches for anyone else who finds this page first.

The gist is that libportability.dll (one of xilinx's) barfs when enumerating network shares once it gets to the \wsl shares.
