Hello,

The problem is the PATH it is not including the Windows PATH. Your issue follow the same pattern of others in the same regard. All include in the PATH pyenv. What make me think that something related to Python is overwriting the PATH at launch. The other explanation is that you modified /etc/wsl.conf to exclude Windows Paths.

Hi @crramirez , Thank's for identifying the issue. I have identified the line in my .bashrc that was removing the Windows PATH. Restoring the Windows PATH resolved the issue.
