Can you run powershell.exe /c start . in WSL and see if that works? As well, if you run PowerShell, cd into your folder using \\wsl\home\<YourUserName>\ and then run explorer.exe what happens??

cd /home/$USER ; powershell.exe /c start . works fine cd /home/$USER ; explorer.exe This issue has gone away. No clue what went on :/
