I absolutely loathe WSL at work. Users with local non-AD connected systems (which bypass GPOs) install it, then start making highly insecure configurations that result in PII nightmares.

It's a goddamned cancer riddled bastard child of Linux and Windows that needs the Ol' Yeller treatment.

Found your problem. Nothing to do with Linux/WSL.

Windows ~~that~~ needs the Ol' Yeller treatment.

FTFY
