WSL2 GPU Acceleration + CUDA Secret Setup (2025 Method)

Why it’s rare: Microsoft enabled full GPU acceleration in WSL2 but the setup requires specific kernel parameters not documented in standard guides .

powershell

Copy

# Check WSL version and kernel
wsl --version

# Enable GPU acceleration (requires specific kernel)
wsl --update
wsl --shutdown

# Configure .wslconfig for maximum performance
notepad "$env:USERPROFILE\.wslconfig"

Add this to .wslconfig:

ini

Copy

[wsl2]
memory=16GB
processors=8
swap=0
localhostForwarding=true
gpuSupport=true
nestedVirtualization=true
kernel=C:\\Users\\YourName\\custom-kernel\\bzImage
