Sometimes, disabling and re-enabling WSL can help resolve the issue. To do this:
* Open the Start menu and search for "Turn Windows features on or off".
* Scroll down and find "Windows Subsystem for Linux" under the "Turn Windows features on or off" section.
* Uncheck the box next to "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
* Restart your system.
* Go back to the same settings page and re-check the box next to "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
* Restart your system again.
* Open the Start menu and search for "Turn Windows features on or off".
* Scroll down and find "Windows Subsystem for Linux" under the "Turn Windows features on or off" section.
* Uncheck the box next to "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
* Restart your system.
* Go back to the same settings page and re-check the box next to "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
