Description
Problem
Installation of Rust went smooth on Windows 11 and Ubuntu itself, but when trying to install it on the Ubuntu subsystem of Windows 11, my computer went into Green screen of Death with the error code MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Steps
- Use windows 11 insider build
- Install Ubuntu WSL
- Open the WSL
- Run
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | shto install - Just wait and Green Screen of Death will come up
Notes
The Green Screen of Death stays on 0% for hours and forcing the electricity to went out and boot it again won't give you another Green Screen of Death, it will boot into Windows 11 smoothly. After login in into WIn 11, running rustc --version won't give any output,

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the rustup installation command inside Ubuntu on WSL 2 with the reported Windows 11 Insider setup, then investigate whether the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT crash is caused by rustup or the WSL/Windows environment. Done means identifying a confirmed cause and documenting an actionable fix or a clear report for the responsible component.
