I've tried looking in many places for people with similar issues and I'm just not finding it. I am trying to install Ubuntu onto Windows 10. I've tried all 3 versions in the app store (Ubunutu, 16.04 LTS, and 18.04 LTS) and run into the same problem.
The app installs via the app store absolutely fine. Then when I load it up I get the "Installing this may take a few minutes" and then nothing else happens. I left this overnight (9 hours) and still nothing happened, as I thought I may not be being patient enough, but still no luck. I have activated the linux subsystem for windows and restarted as instructed and now I am somewhat at a loss. Should it really be taking this long or am I missing something?
The exact same thing happens on my laptop too, so apparently I'm doing something wrong on both but no matter how many tutorials I follow it doesn't seem to work nor installing it via the commandline after downloading the zip file directly, I get to the same place. I've also tried uninstalling and reintalling multiple times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
