Hi

Adding a vote to this issue as I'm trying to use cf top on WSL as well and same problem.

Sorry that its outside my ability to fix this and give a patch

Is this still happening? It's an issue deep inside a library call.

Reported long ago from golang side:
asciimoo/wuzz#88

Which points to the WSL issue, but was marked as fixed a while ago.
microsoft/WSL#601

[mattyindustries]

This is still happening for me although I am running on a corporate Windows 10 environment that is massively out of date.

Windows 10 Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.1268)

[kkellner-cl]

Based on the following link, it seems like your base Windows 10 version is from October 17, 2017

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history

It's not clear from the issue WSL#601 listed above which Windows 10 build the fix went into. I would need someone with a newer Windows 10 build to test and see if its working. From my side, I don't think there is anything I can do to make this work. Sorry.

[siennathesane]

I don't have cf top installed locally anymore (since I don't have a local CF deployment), so I can't test this, sorry.

[mattyindustries]

I've actually just had my corporate workstation updated to Version 1809 OS Build 17763.379 and cf top is now working.

[kkellner]

That's great news. I'm going to close this issue. Fix is to install newer version of Windows.
