@littlestewart you might want to make sure that you have run apt update && apt upgrade -y. Additionally take a look at some of Kali's metapackages so you have all of the tools. I'd recommend starting with kali-linux-default and also kali-desktop-xfce as a start. If you are going in somewhere where you wont have internet connectivity you might try kali-linux-large.

As for why it's 2018.3, we do not manage that chocolatey package, it is maintained by Offensive Security, and they havent updated in a while. As for WSL1 I havent found a good way to reliably auto-install WSL2 since it seems to be only supported on the newest version of windows each time (rather than 1909+)..

To be honest I havent looked at this package in a while, so if there are any more bugs please post them here :-)
