I'm frustrated when WSL2 shut down itself without any warning while I'm still using it. And that's because Windows Store began to update it.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

A warning of shutting down before updating it would be greatly appreciated (something like Office update, asking users save their work). I feel like WSL2, as a subsystem, should be treated more as a "system" instead of an app.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

It is convenient for the Store to auto-update some apps that are not running. However, for things that are running, especially WSL2, why does the Store has such a high priority of doing what it wants?
