@nicks515 I have checked this setting and it wasn't enabled. Do you have any other ideas?
@Joeharrison94 @dfroberg Updating WSL with the msi file here solved this exact same issue for me: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
Not sure what is happening here it makes the file in that location then as it completed the extract and starts the import it fails.
