#### Rebooting `wsl` With Updated Settings

Once you've made your changes to `.wslconfig` you'll need to reboot your instance for them to take effect.

You can list all of your `wsl` distributions via `wsl -l` or `wsl --list`:

```shell
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu (Default)
docker-desktop-data
docker-desktop
```

In this case we need to terminate our default `Ubuntu` `wsl` instance:

```shell
wsl --terminate Ubuntu
```

The next time we try to launch `wsl` our `.wslconfig` settings will be active inside the environment.
