Thanks for the reply.
I have dual booted platforms in the past, and would prefer not to do so
to solve the problems.
These problems are not show stoppers, but rather annoying.

Have you investigated the possibility of Dual Booting?
it's a bit complicated, but it works.
Separate Disk Dive is best

First, let me assure the list that I am not trying to ignite a flame war.
I have a legitimate reason for installing Debian Buster on my Windows
10 laptop using Windows Subsystem Linux and X410. I have a very
important application for my Computational Chemistry research program
that has never been ported to Linux.
After much thrashing about and hair pulling (little enough to begin
with) I succeeded.
However, there are several problems, minor but annoying. I�m using
the xfe4 desktop.
The Application Manager Logout function will only allow Logout;
Restart and Shutdown are grayed out.
On the System level, clicking on the Synaptic Package Manager entry
in the pulldown manual does not open the app; sudo synaptic in the
Xfce Terminal opens the app and it is fully functional.
I hope to receive advise from this list. I shudder to think of having
to query MS, even if I got an answer it would be very murky and
impossible to implement.
Thanks in advance.
