Windows does a lot of things without asking - telemetry, install Docker Desktop pretending it is docker which it is not, compression of random files without asking. Install and update WITHOUT ASKING. Rebooting and killing patients in hospitals WITHOUT ASKING All slowing down your PC.
A full disk is the worst. If you have 40GB free do this decompression in admin PowerShell:

• Shutdown all applications
• Exit all wsl terminals
• wsl.exe --shutdown
• cd \
• compact /U /S /I

At bootup restarting WSL2(Ubuntu) or VSCODE-->WSL together with a bugfest monster Docker Desktop WSL2 trys to restore the previous session but now it just trys to load the data and crashes try's again and then you may even reboot to get over the problem - it is a bag of bugs!
Get rid of Docker Desktop and it fixes an whole load of bugs and speeds up WSL by 3x. But you have to reinstall WSL without Docker Desktop meaning backing up data.

Docker Desktop is a mountain of slowdown bugs!
