Can't forward X server from Ubuntu 18 to Winsows 8.1 via Putty.
Xming is running.
Before updating Ubuntu to version 18, everything worked.

Why do you go from the host to the same host with forward X? Please explain the logic of this nonsense.
Write in putty X display location localhost:0:0 and enable x11 forwarding

At first, I just connect via SSH, and then I forward Xs. But I already realized that I was wrong.
Enabled x11 forwarding, registered location; same error.
