Location of .bashrc for “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows” in Windows 10

Question

Microsoft just introduced a Linux subsystem in its Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. The installation is pretty straight forward, but I could not locate bash files on Windows.

Answer 1

Since the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the location changed to:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\{DIST}\LocalState\rootfs\home\{LINUXUSER}\

Where:

• {DIST} is equal to CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc
• {LINUXUSER} is the user for which you are looking for the .bashrc file

Just for anyone wondering that came here from Google.
