Howdy. Do you have any daemonized processes running inside wsl? If not then this looks like expected behavior to me.

There is a docker daemon running.

Facing the same issues. But we can try this.

There is a docker daemon running.

Can you show the output of ps -auxf? If the process in question is not parented to relay init (Pid 564 in my case) then it will not keep the distro alive.

@hipengwen Can you try the below?

I have several WSL2 environments, using a startup script will autorun the WSL2 Ubuntu instance and it will keep running in the background.

Put a cmd script file, e.g. startwsl.cmd in the Windows startup folder.
(For Windows 10/11, press WIN+R, enter shell:startup.)

:: This keeps a process running under init
wsl bash -c "nohup bash -c 'while true; do sleep 1h; done &' &>/dev/null "
timeout /t 3
