I installed Ubuntu 18.10 using wubi.exe on Windows 10. Restarted the system after installation and it took me to grub menu.



What should I do get out of Grub menu and boot to Ubuntu?

  • Installing Ubuntu 18.10 with wubi.exe is not possible in Windows 10. Your alternatives on Windows 10 are Ubuntu 18.04 with WSL, VM or dual boot.

    An alternative is to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine (for example, you can install VirtualBox in Windows, and create a virtual machine with a virtual drive and file system). But it will be slow, unless the computer is powerful and has a lot of RAM. Another alternative is to run Ubuntu persistent live or an installed Ubuntu system in a fast USB3 drive or USB SSD, or finally, if you are ready for it, shrink a Windows partition and install Ubuntu alongside Windows in the internal drive, a dual boot system.

Please note that Windows 10 S does not support running WSL. Windows 10 in S Mode can’t use command-line shells like PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Bash which are commonly used in WSL. Various other developer tools are also off limits.
