'Windows Subsystem for Linux crashing Windows when "git pull" is run
Has anyone else faced this problem? When I try to run git pull in WSL, the system immediately and consistently crashes leading me to the Blue Screen.
With the stop code:
PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA
I am on Windows 10.

Yes. It is likely related to a known bug as described here. https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3916
The summary is: Using SSH or Agent forwarding causes the BSOD(Blue Screen of Death). They have reproduced the issue and are working on a fix. That was as of 6 days ago.

I have pretty the same issue. After some discovering I found out this article. For me, the issue is that McAfee is blocking this action with Exploit prevention mechanism.

Maybe it will help you. Best regards
