Can't access WSL2-Ubuntu-20.04's file system by "\\wsl$Ubuntu-20.04"

[atwwww]

I installed the Ubuntu-20.04 of WSL2 through Microsolft Store.
Then in the subsystem:
"sudo apt update"
...
"sudo apt upgrade"
...

After that,
the explorer of windows10 will always be loading state when I type "\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04" in its search box,
seems that it can't find the Ubuntu-20.04's files.

However,
I can successfully access the Ubuntu-18.04's files by typing "\\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04"

Is it a Bug of WSL2-Ubuntu-20.04?

I need to access my distros via \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04. Note the slash between the dollar sign and the distro name. Does that fix your issue?

What is the output, from a powershell or CMD prompt:

C:\> cmd.exe /c ver
C:\> wsl.exe -l -v

@fetherolfjd
It didn't work...

@therealkenc
The prompts are as follows:

C:> cmd /c ver
Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.19042.985]

C:\ wsl -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION

• kali-linux Stopped 2
  Ubuntu-18.04 Stopped 2
  Ubuntu-20.04 Running 2

Is it a Bug of WSL2-Ubuntu-20.04?

All things being equal, WSL proper doesn't know one distribution from the next. And the distributions (f.e. Ubuntu-20.04) isn't responsible for sharing \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04.

If kali-linux and Ubuntu-18.04 both work, but Ubuntu-20.04 "always be loading state", one thing to try on a lark is install Ubuntu (sic) from the store and see how that fares.
