Microsoft recently announced the first open source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

This has sparked great enthusiasm in the community, especially regular WSL2 users or those interested in the user-mode components facilitating Windows/Linux interop. However, long-term WSL enthusiasts will notice one major missing component: lxcore.sys.
