Thank you @PaxtonPenguin. Looking at the logs, it looks like wslservice.exe is crashing.

Can you follow Enable automatic crash dump collection and share the crash dump for wslservice.exe ?

Thank you @PaxtonPenguin, unfortunately I don't see any dumps in the zip you shared.

After you enabled automatic crash dump collection, was any wslservice.exe available in C:\crashes ?

[PaxtonPenguin]

no, only searchindexer.exe. which isnt wsl at all
