Too bad you need wsl2, i hate running hyperv and the apps that dont play nice with it.



Which apps are broken for you? We’ve been working with VMware and Google to ensure their apps well with Hyper-V, but I know there are still some gaps.


The new release of VMware Workstation now works with Hyper-V as its hypervisor but a bunch of people (and I'm one of them) have experienced massive, unacceptable performance regressions for VM guests. I had to disable Hyper-V and hence stop using WSL2 until it's resolved. If the performance issues are intrinsic this will probably be a permanent showstopper for people who rely on VMware or Virtual Box. Hopefully this gets sorted out one way or another.
