Network issue on Windows 10 ?

Sometime, the network to internet stop working. To resolve this issue, just do the following things:

  1. sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
  2. Remove line out the nameserver nameserver 17...
  3. add this new line nameserver 8.8.8.8
  4. ctrl + o and ctrl + x to write a quit
  5. sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
  6. Paste the following in:
[network]
generateResolvConf = false
  1. ctrl + o and ctrl + x to write a quit
  2. close WSL and reopen, hopefully the issue is fixed :)

NOTE And if for a strange reason, the resolv.conf file is not accessible, try delete it a recreate it from scratch with only namesserver 8.8.8.8
