Should I be worried about this?
I moved some files yesterday in my explorer and spotted a "Linux" section under This PC, which I hadn’t seen before. It doesn’t open the properties window and there’s nothing listed in the tab. Since I don’t have a dual-boot setup or another OS installed, it’s possible something unusual is happening. Could it be a virus or is this just something normal?
It stands apart from the network, just notice the arrow was not visible in the first screenshot.
This occurs due to the integration of Windows subsystem for Linux in recent Windows updates.
It's typical though; I thought just enabling the optional features GUI and checking the box would trigger the update. So I can see why you're concerned. If you need it removed, locate the optional feature program and uncheck the linux-subsystem. That should take care of it.
