Can't access Linux filesystem from Windows

[Jeroeny]

Version

WSL-versie: 0.50.2.0
Kernelversie: 5.10.74.3
WSLg-versie: 1.0.29
Windows-versie: 10.0.22000.348

WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Installed via Microsoft Store (https://aka.ms/wslstorepage).

Kernel Version

Linux version 5.10.74.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (oe-user@oe-host) (x86_64-msft-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.34.0.20200220) #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 19:27:44 UTC 2021

Distro Version

Ubuntu 20.04

Other Software

Docker Desktop 4.3.0
PhpStorm 2021.3 (with a deployment config to sync files to a Linux directory)

Repro Steps

After a fresh (re)boot, accessing Linux files works. But after a while, the link/mount to the Linux distro breaks. Accessing the \\wsl$\Ubuntu or \\wsl.localhost will hang. E.g. executing dir \\wsl$\Ubuntu in powershell or using Explorer to go to Network -> Linux -> Ubuntu will cause the command to hang or the Explorer window to keep loading.

Expected Behavior

To be able to access the Linux directories.

Actual Behavior

Hanging command or Explorer on an attempt to read something from a Linux filesystem.

Diagnostic Logs

Trace-Command dir \\wsl$\Ubuntu also hangs.

wsl --shutdown doesn't help. Only rebooting my PC makes the filesystem accessible again (temporarily).

When I used Docker desktop, it created two distros. Those were still accessible (docker-desktop and docker-desktop-data).
Though I use docker.io inside wsl directly at the moment, with the daemon also running inside wsl.
