Repro Steps

I cannot get WSL information through wsl -l -v command in the terminal, it is always in a stalling state, I confirm that there is WSL in my process.

Expected Behavior

WSL information should be displayed correctly:

Actual Behavior

The instruction to execute the WSL is always in a blocking state, with no return and no stop.

In fact, this is the second time I've had this problem, before I fixed it by resetting the network, which did solve my problem, but it happened again today.

Looks like something probably crashed when you tried to install the first time. I suggest doing wsl.exe --unregister <distro> and re-trying (with tracing enabled).
