Disabling or Enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows Linux binary executables to run on Windows, which can potentially introduce security risks.

In the Policy view, go to Access and Compliance > Application Control > Windows Sub-systms for Linux (WSL) Traffic
Select Allow Windows Sub-systms for Linux (WSL) Traffic or leave this option cleared.
