Repro Steps

I was using WSL last week, went home, came back after the weekend, and now WSL won't start. I tried launching from the start menu initially, but the window appeared and then disappeared. So I tried launching from PS.

Expected Behavior

Expected WSL to launch.

Actual Behavior

PS C:\Windows\system32> wsl
