The release notes of 1.1.7 says "Removes wsl2.pageReportingOrder option from %userprofile%\.wslconfig"

[elsaco]

By design. Thx @Biswa96 for pointing it out.

Thanks, but this advised configuration is not removed from official document, and windows event view still look at this warning.

As of today this error still shows up in the event log. If by design, what is to be done to stop my event log from showing this?

Removes wsl2.pageReportingOrder option from %userprofile%\.wslconfig file.

As of Feb 2024, this option is still in official docs at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config.

Can we get a docs update to avoid errors like these?

wsl: Unknown key 'wsl2.pageReporting' in C:\Users\...wslconfig:14

[JonathanPitre]

Remove the option from the documentation already please!

@Morrigan-Ship autoMemoryReclaim as far as i can see when i scroll up in this issue. Or try to google or ask GPT, but IMHO with a comment on a different topic it looks not the right way how to ask it...

Same error in 2025-02-10, pageReporting still in WSL documentation....
