FYI I got this working on normal windows for conda so I guess it isn't a big deal. but still probably good to hear about bugs

Hello,

Thank you for the report and analysis.
I never tested MSS on WSL, there is definitely something not working here.

What distribution did you install?

I have exactly this from the windows store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH4MSV6

also with this I was having an issue with xrandr that was (seemingly) fixed with the below install:
sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

For older versions of Windows running WSL

+1 on this one. I am getting ImportError: cannot import name 'WINFUNCTYPE' from 'ctypes' running this from WSL

For Windows 11 WSL

Getting mss.exception.ScreenShotError: XGetImage() failed on any resolution/monitor.

I am currently looking into this, instead of the older WSL above****
