This must be the culprit. It seems that the wsl document[1] indicated by Arash (thanks Arash!) instructs to use the directory of the form \\wsl$\<Distro Name>\home\<User name> as the wsl home directory from windows side: "Use the Linux file system root directory: \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<user name>\Project" "..., but your performance speed will improve if you store them directly on the \\wsl$ drive." "To view all of your available Linux distributions and their root file systems in Windows File explorer, in the address bar enter: \\wsl$" 1. What happens when you enter \\wsl$ in the address bar of windows explorer? (not in wsl) 2. What happens when you issue explorer.exe . in wsl bash console? If 1. or 2., or both, doesn't return sane result, I suspect that your installation of wsl is somewhat broken.
