By design. You won't get rid of it. You're using systemd with wsl I assume?

Edit: double checked, use wsl without systemd if you don't want that there. It creates a systemd user session.

Thanks for the information, at least I know it's expected :) Is it documented anywhere?

from wsl.

It wouldn't be realistic for us to do that. So many pitfalls in doing that. We don't want people to rely on details like this. Details that are side effects of the implementation.

I was thinking primarily along the lines of "there's this extra shell as a result of WSL inner workings". At least we have this bug now :)

Thanks!

I just spent the better part of an afternoon trying to figure out wtf this extra login was (concerned about security) and eventually came across this... I second @yacoob on the documentation. if this is normal behaviour for systemd but isn't documented as such then it's suspicious...
