You are using the built in version of wslu. Please install the PPA version of wslu: https://wslutiliti.es/wslu/install.html#ubuntu

Thanks for the advice, but I just tried the PPA version (wslu v4.1.1-1) and the behavior is not changed.

I think the problem is that the line of code referred above doesn't work (only) on powershells in constrained language mode.

Can you see what is the result of $Env:__PSLockdownPolicy in your Powershell?
