title: Bash on Ubuntu on Windows not starting
body: <p>So, I've been using the new(ish) Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (WSL) for a while now and all has been top-notch, until yesterday. </p>
  
  <p>I git-pushed from Bash by accident, so it asked me for my repo-destination account details like normal. I decided to ignore this, terminate Bash and try to just use powershell instead (can't ever remember passwords!). Terminating Bash however caused the shell to freeze. I forced closed and restarted my comp (I've had to force close and restart several times before for various reasons and everything was fine).</p>
  
  <p>After boot up, I just tried to check if Bash was working again, but it wasn't. It just failed to start with no error message. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; bash
  PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anyone else had a similar situation/knows how to help?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Only solved through reinstalling bash, using</p>
  
  <pre><code>    lxrun /uninstall /full
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then </p>
  
  <pre><code>    lxrun /install 
  </code></pre>
