WSL2-Linux-Kernel-6.1.22.1

Installation instructions

• Grab the latest release from the Releases page.
• Place the kernel somewhere in Windows, such as in your user folder (e.g., C:\Users\sileshn\bzImage).
• Create a .wslconfig file in the current user's home directory (e.g. C:\Users\sileshn\.wslconfig) and add the following:

[wsl2]
kernel = C:\\Users\\sileshn\\bzImage

If your username has a space in it (for example, silesh nair), do not attempt to escape it with \ or ":

[wsl2]
kernel = C:\\Users\\silesh nair\\bzImage

• Restart WSL with wsl.exe --shutdown and check that the new image has been booted with uname -r.

To update the kernel, continuously download the latest release from the releases page.
