This bug-tracker is monitored by developers and other technical types. We like detail! So please use this form and tell us, concisely but precisely, what's up. Please fill out ALL THE FIELDS! Issues with missing or incomplete issue templates will be closed.

If you have a feature request, please post to the UserVoice.

If this is a console issue (a problem with layout, rendering, colors, etc.), please post to the console issue tracker.

Important: Do not open GitHub issues for Windows crashes (BSODs) or security issues. Please direct all Windows crashes and security issues to secure@microsoft.com. Ideally, please configure your machine to capture minidumps, repro the issue, and send the minidump from "C:\Windows\minidump".

Please fill out the below information:

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.134]

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

I type vmstat -SM 1

and this is what happens

test@JansDell:$ vmstat -SM 1
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu-----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
Error: /proc must be mounted
To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
proc /proc proc defaults
In the meantime, run "mount proc /proc -t proc"
test@JansDell:$

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

give the regular vmstat output like it does on any unix

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If some_command is failing, then run strace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents of some_command.strace in a gist here).

• For WSL launch issues, please collect detailed logs.

See our contributing instructions for assistance.
