Title: Upcoming Windows 10 'Redstone 5' Insider Build will allow launching a Linux terminal directly from File Explorer
Post by: Redaktion on May 17, 2018, 12:41:09
Windows 10 users who depend on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for development work will soon have an easy access to the Linux terminal thanks to a popular User Voice request. Upcoming Windows 10 'Redstone 5' builds will have the ability to directly open a Linux terminal from File Explorer similar to how one can invoke the Command Prompt.

You can already get the same result by typing bash in the address bar of the folder you want to open WSL in. Enjoy!
