"Possible workaround is to edit /etc/profile.d/00-pengwin.sh to comment the lines containing cmd-exe or similar references." - Tobias Kohlbau

Also, pengwin-setup is not working with the same reason. people who need work with Pengwin on this build should switch to WSL 1 temporarily.

I have the same exact issue, but I tried to click on Ctrl + C and you will see you will get the prompt command, now, try to comment these lines inside the 00-pengwin.sh and it will work

#wHomeWinPath=$(cmd-exe /c 'echo %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%' | tr -d '\r')
#export WIN_HOME=$(wslpath -u "${wHomeWinPath}")

@HMounir I tried your work around but there are still a lot of things that won't work after upgrading to wsl2. For example code . no longer works.

Tried upgrading vanilla Ubuntu-18.04 to wsl2 and it doesn't seem to have this issue.

Where is 00-pengwin.sh?
I can't find it via search file...

We are doing some environment interop stuff on launch and pengwin-setup that has been broken in WSL2 recent Insider builds.

Ubuntu doesn't do that so it's going to work for now. Sorry.

This has been patched in upstream.
