WSL also will have a new distribution architecture to provide a more efficient way for enterprise developers, IT professionals, and users to set up and customize WSL distributions while complying with enterprise security policies. IT professionals can build custom distributions by bundling together necessary applications, binaries, and tools, and distribute them to users. WSL distributions now can be installed through configurable source locations, separate from Microsoft Store. These features are to be previewed in the coming months.
For WinGet, a command line tool that allows users to install Windows apps, Entra ID integration is available in public preview. The integration allows IT professionals to manage WinGet access so that only authorized users within an enterprise can install software onto their devices. Also, WinGet now allows enterprise customers to download line-of-business apps from any WinGet source using the WinGet Download command. WinGet Download is now generally available.
