Linux Subsystem Files To Become Accessible via Windows File Explorer

'One of Windows Subsystem for Linux's more annoying tricks is it's
hard to get at your Linux files from Windows. From a report:

Oh, you can do it, but you take a real chance of ruining the files. To
quote Microsoft, "DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, access, create,
and/or modify files in your distro's filesystem using Windows apps,
tools, scripts, consoles, etc." In the forthcoming Windows 10 April
2019 Update, aka Windows 10 19H1, this Linux file problem will finally
be fixed. According to Craig Loewen, a Microsoft programming manger
working on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), "The next Windows update
is coming soon and we're bringing exciting new updates to WSL with it!
These include accessing the Linux file system from Windows, and
improvements to how you manage and configure your distros in the
command line."'
