Updating Windows Subsystem for Linux

If you set up the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10, you may find that when you subsequently select Bash on Ubuntu on Windows to obtain a Bash shell prompt, that you see a message indicating that packages need to be updated. E.g.:

106 packages can be updated.
71 updates are security updates.
root@ANAHEIM:~#

You can get the updates with apt-get update. You can then install the updates with apt-get upgrade. You may need to respond to a "Do you want to continue?" prompt. If there are a lot of updated packages to install, be prepared to wait awhile for the upgrade process to complete.
