Damn, WSL is a pretty lame solution at this point. >> Did they fixed the user mappings? > > I don't know as I didn't have any problem with it. --- Do you have a domain? Oh, that's right MS, doesn't support users having domains, and unless you have a Professional version of Windows, they crippled the client to not work w/Domains. So does your copy of windows work in a domain? (a home domain, BTW -- we aren't talking businesses). > Do you mean, that Windows itself is a problem? > Or version 10 of Windows is a problem?

It's really that all users will use "systemd" -- oh... wait, that's a reimplementation of the windows "services" daemon.
