Resolved already. https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/122 https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/122 Edit: A comment how easy it would be to theoretically have this functionality accidentally enabled -- Note that the odds of Grandma 'accidentally' enabling Bash on Windows is more or less none. You have to 1: Associate your Win10 account with a MSDN account. 2: Enable Developer Mode from the Update Settings. 3: Sign into MSDN and click through a few pages to enable Insider features. 4: Finally, Go back to the Update settings and enable Insider updates along with the "Fast" feature-set. 5: Reboot. 6: Enable the "Server" Service (most users are just running "Workstation" on 10; 'Server' isn't even offered on non-Pro,Enterprise. (At least, I think)). Only then will you be able to even have the option of installing the Bash feature (which isn't an "oops" situation - you have to be a power user to even get access to it with an Admin user [See: (1,2) for what's visible on a stock install of Windows, even to administrators - none of which offer the Feature selection.] It's intentionally obscured for power users, just like the Group Policy, MMC, etc functionality. You can even tell by [3] ("Features") and the other Features in there (Active Directory, Hyper V, etc) that this functionality is clearly targeted to power-users (in fact, there's a large overlap between WinServer 2012's Feature screen & this). TL;DR - This isn't something which will accidentally get turned on, and if Grandma is rooted, you can hide the process from Process Manager easily anyways. Even from Sysinternals' Procexp, with some ease.
