Funny anecdote: apparently, WSL doesn't work until you upgrade to the latest, when you are on the Windows insider build thing. Hilariously found that out when a server got into trouble while I was in the back of the car. Big smiles all around as I was downloading and installing the update over 4G and no power plugged in. Good times.

Sometime similar once happened to me, the moral is to not install the insiders version unless you have a legitimate reason to. Getting access to preview features before they’re ready on will get you in that kind of trouble.

More smiles and feelings! Thanks for contributing to the solution of this mornings problem :)

Even better is/was the wording around insider installation, it said you can go back to normal windows, but left out the small detail that you have to reinstall normal windows from scratch vs rolling back.
