Re: Buster on Win 10 Problems

Thanks for the reply.

I have dual booted platforms in the past, and would prefer not to do so to solve the problems.

These problems are not show stoppers, but rather annoying.

I have a legitimate reason for installing Debian Buster on my Windows 10 laptop using Windows Subsystem Linux and X410. I have a very important application for my Computational Chemistry research program that has never been ported to Linux.

The Application Manager Logout function will only allow Logout; Restart and Shutdown are grayed out.

I hope to receive advise from this list. I shudder to think of having to query MS, even if I got an answer it would be very murky and impossible to implement.

Thanks in advance.
