This is happening to me now after Windows automatically updated to version 10.0.19042 Build 19042.
Last night things were working fine, got up today and my machine had restarted & updated. Skipped Windows 11 spam at startup, started up my dev environment in WSL1 like always, and now I can’t work. Anyone else experiencing this?
I can connect with Compass just fine.
I’m not connected to VPN (which does mess up connections to Atlas, although with a different error). Until today I have never seen the error in OP’s post.
telnet portquiz.net 27017 is failing, so I’m guessing something in the Windows update affected Windows Defender.
Couldn’t ping google.com either.
[SOLVED]
This worked for me: edit /etc/wsl.conf and set generateResolvConf = true

# Expected behavior
I should get reply to the ping. And Internet should be easily accessible from within WSL.
WSL 1 has no problem. I am able to connect to internet. When I try to use docker on WSL , it asks to upgrade to WSL2. So now i have no option. Just have to use WSL2 for docker where there is no internet connectivity
# Actual behavior
Have looked at the solutions from other issues. None seems to works. Follows some that I have tried but it seems not to work.
1. Added (_[network]generateResolvConf = false_) to **wsl.conf** And add _nameserver 8.8.8.8_ in **resolv.conf**
2. Run the following powershell script
```
`echo "Restarting WSL Service"
Restart-Service LxssManager
echo "Restarting Host Network Service"
Stop-Service -name "hns"
Start-Service -name "hns"
echo "Restarting Hyper-V adapters"
Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden | Where-Object `
{$_.InterfaceD```
escription.StartsWith('Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter')} `
| Disable-NetAdapter -Confirm:$False
Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden | Where-Object `
{$_.InterfaceDescription.StartsWith('Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter')} `
| Enable-NetAdapter -Confirm:$False`
```
Please let me know how can i fix this issue, so i can connect to internet from my WSL
FYI Antivirus - McAffe and Windows Defender is enabled.
