<br> The LXSS Manager service supports running native ELF binaries. The service provides the <br> infrastructure necessary for ELF binaries to run on Windows. <br> <br> Note: This service is not installed by default. It is supplied with Windows, but is installed <br> by enabling an optional Windows feature (Windows Subsystem for Linux). <br> <br> The Linux SubSystem (LXSS) Manager allows full system access to Linux applications on <br> Windows, including the file system. While this can certainly have some functionality and <br> performance benefits for running those applications, it also creates new security risks in <br> the event that a hacker injects malicious code into a Linux application. For best security, it <br> is preferred to run Linux applications on Linux, and Windows applications on Windows. <br> Fixtext: <br> Fix: <br> (1) GPO: Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsSystem ServicesLxssManager <br> <br> (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLxssManager!Start <br>
