I've never used WSL, but you're right with your assumption[1]: Run Windows tools from Linux WSL can run Windows tools directly from the WSL command line using [tool-name].exe. For example, notepad.exe. [...] Windows tools must include the file extension, match the file case, and be executable. Non-executables including batch scripts. CMD native commands like dir can be run with cmd.exe /C command. Best, Arash Footnotes: [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/filesystems#run-windows-tools-from-linux
