With the latest cumulative update, OS Build 20348.740, Microsoft officially announced the support for WSL2 is being added in a GitHub comment. To be able to test the new feature, users should install the Windows Server 2022 KB5014021 update first. Since it is an optional update, Windows will not automatically update.

Windows Developer Platform Program Manager Craig Loewen announced the new feature on GitHub in a reply to a WSL issue from two years ago. Loewen said,

« Hi folks, we’ve added support for WSL 2 distros on Windows Server 2022! This is available right now by installing KB5014021. Currently this update is only available for seekers, and next month it will be pushed by default.

Going forwards, WSL will be supported both on Windows server and Windows desktop SKUs. Thank you all for the feedback, we appreciate your energy and passion for WSL! »

WSL 2 distros are now supported on Windows Server! This is currently available by installing a KB for seekers, and will be pushed as part of a regular update soon.https://t.co/s3aF4cJNZ6
