Ok, so I just read a few threads about how to fix this error. None of them worked for me, my reg was already good to go and everything else seemed to be in working order except for accessing this server at \\wsl.localhost (the Linux shortcut in navigation pane).

Well guess what?

TURN ON NETWORK DISCOVERY!!!! xD

Did that for private networks, and now it is working seamlessly. I can finally click “Linux” in explorer quick access again and see all my distros.
