Could you comment the outputs of wsl --version and wsl --list --verbose? Additionally, a screenshot of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss in regedit would be helpful - something like this:

Edit: However, I feel like this problem is probably that the Ubuntu fragment somehow clashes with what we're doing by reading the registry... But I figured it can't hurt to have all the information.

Oh this is surely the fact that Canonical ships a separate profile for Ubuntu, rather than a fragment that updates the existing one we generate. This has caused no end of confusion for everyone involved.

Hi @mwisnicki. Thanks for filing. This is the same root cause as #12961. We need a holistic solution for all of them. Marking as a /dup of #12961
