Return to the Dreaded VcXsrv Era

Unfortunately, we aren't as free as we hoped :( WSLg apps don't play nice with AutoHotKey.. So, it's back to  %ProgramFiles%\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe :0 -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl -ac # in my Startup folder What to do when the clipboard doesn't "work" - can't paste stuff into NEdit or any X-app launched through WSL? What did work was to exit from my WSLterminal with kill -9 -1 Then, from taskbar, I right-click on X-server and exit. Then, relaunched the VcXsrv using the shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. Then relaunched WSLTerminal and now clipboard is working
