xlaunch-auto-run.ps1

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\VcXsrv\xlaunch.exe"-ArgumentList "-run C:\scripts\config.xlaunch"

In $ports is where they define their ports that will be opened.

Examples:

If I want to add MySQL/MariaDB port 3306

# before
$ports=@(80,3333,8080,8000,19000,19001);

# after
$ports=@(80,3333,8080,8000,19000,19001,3306);

I can also delete ports I don't use (I'll use the same example from MySQL / MariaDB)

# after
$ports=@(3306);

You can import file wsl2-bridge-task-schedule.xml

You can import file xlaunch-auto-run.xml in the same way, that import the file wsl2-bridge-task-schedule.xml

If you don't know much about bash, shell script, or directories, I recommend that you keep the files inside a scripts folder in the following directory C:\scripts so that they can work successfully
