I asked Gemini. Do you suppose it's worth posting here ??🤨🤨🤨

If it worked for you, yeah. "If an idea is stupid and it works, it's not stupid", kind of sentiment (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

After going through my screenshot, Gemini suggested me to download a certain tool from Microsoft and install it, giving me the exact steps to do it. I followed, and then found my newly installed WSL working again.
