just a heads up regarding Ubuntu Bash Shell on Windows10: if you open the Ubuntu Bash Shell and type the command: "*lsb_release -a" *you might discover it is running Ubuntu 14.04 you might want to run an upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 which is now available. See the following for installation details.
how-to-update-the-windows-bash-shell <https://www.howtogeek.com/278152/how-to-update-the-windows-bash-shell/> <== BTW the instructions here forgot to include necessary fonts for Xserver if you want to install x11-common. Just include *"xfonts-*"* The quickest method of upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 is a two step process: [1] enter windows cmd.exe: "*lxrun uninstall"* then *"lxrun install"* Oh I installed Xming/Xlauncher to my Windows10 Apps and I can use it as an Xserver for both Putty and Ubuntu 16.04 Bash Shell.
