can't attach since it keeps saying windows is using the device. can't use --force because it only allows 2 options in the command.

After failure, what is the output of (in WSL):

my issue in powershell:

 usbipd attach --wsl --busid=1-2
usbipd: error: There is no WSL 2 distribution running; keep a command prompt to a WSL 2 distribution open to leave it running.

and then when following the prompt to use --force

usbipd: warning: The device appears to be used by Windows; stop the software using the device, or bind the device using the '--force' option.
usbipd: error: Failed to attach device with busid '1-2'.
 usbipd attach --force --wsl --busid=1-2
Unrecognized command or argument '--force'. 

usbipd-win 4.3.0

Description:
  Attaches a USB device to a client.

  Currently, only WSL is supported. Other clients need to perform an attach using client-side tooling.

  Exactly one of the options '--busid' or '--hardware-id' is required.

The --force option is for the usbipd bind command, not for usbipd attach.
