Under newer Windows 10 builds the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is included into the Windows Explorer. Similar to every file on your local drive you can navigate to your files inside a WSL distribution using
\\wsl$.I am unable to select a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) file using QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames. The filenames return by the dialog are without
\\wsl$.Adeel.

What version of Qt are you using ?
From the Windows side ?
Are you using the native dialog ? -

@Adeel-Asghar Do you have to use such an old Qt version?

Unfortunately yes. We are using msys2 for our project and don't want to upgrade it right now.
@jsulm do you know if it works with the latest version? -
