Similar to some other posts on the forum which I did find, these are the steps that I did to get the Quartus 20.1 Lite to work on Windows 10:

1. Unregistered Ubuntu 18.04 & set to version 1 "wsl --unregister Ubuntu-18.04"

2. Reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 - using the the windows 10 icon bar and typing Ubuntu-18 and clicking yes for the install option

3. Downgraded wsl to version 1 "wsl --set-version Ubuntu-18.04 1"

4. Installed make, dos2unix, and wsl

Finally after following these steps I could get it to work. I think installing wsl within the Ubuntu command shell on Windows is a little hidden feature. In other words, one must install / configure wsl from the windows command prompt, as well as install wsl inside the Ubuntu shell.

Thanks. James
