VS Code installed in Windows comes up as running under WSL Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I installed VS Code in windows, but it comes up as running under WSL Ubuntu 18.04.
I don't want to run in the linux subsystem, but in windows proper. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not change this. Uninstalling and deleting all vscode file and folders in /users does not change this.

Answer 1

Try going to the bottom left of your window and press on the WSL: Ubuntu-18.04 button.

After pressing the button, go to the top center of the window and choose Close Remote Connection .

After that, VS Code should stop auto-connecting to the WSL Ubuntu system every time when you open it (I tested myself and it worked on my computer).
