When setting up manually a Debian WSL (following this guide : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server), the Windows PATH is missing in the $PATH of Debian.

A possible workaround is to install a Ubuntu WSL, and then get the $PATH from Ubuntu (echo $PATH) and copy it into the Debian's $PATH with :
$ export PATH=$PATH:<content copied from the Ubuntu's $PATH>

Another way is to display the %PATH% in windows' cmd.exe, adapt the syntax to the Linux's $PATH and add it with the "export" command.

Just tried this Debian is working as expected, so I'll close this issue out. Thanks for filing!
