Overview

WSL Dashboard is a modern, high-performance management tool built for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Why Choose WSL Dashboard?

Although Microsoft provides the wsl.exe command-line tool, a GUI offers a more intuitive interaction experience and a lower learning curve for users who frequently manage multiple distributions, configure networking, or mount USB devices.

CLI Usage

WSL Dashboard can be run from a Windows terminal with command-line arguments, supporting the following options:

wsldashboard.exe [OPTIONS]

Options:
  /initialize     Initializes Task Scheduler tasks and helper scripts (requires UAC)
  /clean [/all]   Cleans system-level configuration (uninstall mode)
                  Appending /all also deletes the ~/.wsldashboard directory
  /silent         Starts minimized to the system tray
  /scheduler      Auto-starts distributions, auto-connects USB, port forwarding (internal use)
  /version, -v    Shows version information
  /help, -h       Shows this help message
