Description
I install MongoDB in Linux Subsystem with
sudo apt-get install mongodb
and when I try to start it with sudo service mongodb start I have the following error
User@DESKTOP-TPQIRNP:/mnt/c/Users/User$ sudo service mongodb status
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
* Checking status of database mongodb [ OK ]
MongoDB really starts but what is this message/error initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused and how to fix it? Have a official solution to this problem?
I reset my Windows 10 Pro x64 three days ago (on clean HDD). At the moment in Settings -> Update & Security not offered any updates to fix
