From the WSL shell prompt, run uname or uname -r. If you don't see a version number, or if you see an error message (Thank you, Cornea Valentin) you have version 1 (you may also see a version number '1' which could indicate that you're running v1 - see here). If version 2 is installed properly, you will see the version number.
Open Windows PowerShell or cmd and enter the command wsl -l -v. This illustrates the result when the OS is Build 16299:Ī.
If you do not see Windows version 18917 or higher, you have version 1. Is the next-to-last numeric group version 18917 or higher? If so, it is possible you have WSL 2 but not yet verified.
