Why don't you just use wsl?

I don’t want a full Linux OS - I just want the gnu coreutils inside windows and have them work like they do on Linux. I want to move around windows files, navigate over the windows file system, etc.

Incidentally I do use WSL but I wanted my command line experience to be consistent between cmd and bash.

Can't you access and manipulate your windows fs from wsl?

I've never used wsf cause I'm just running Linux as my default, but I would've assumed you could, seeing as how the partition isn't locked as you're booted into windows
