This is not a complete solution. I suspect changing the page file management itself causes WSL to start working again. Mine got stuck, and I got it working after reading this answer, but then after a month or so, it got stuck again. I reverted my virtual memory to "System Managed", and WSL started working again. I don't know what to make of it :-|

When I went to this window I already had almost 32gb of RAM allocated... so I think this is not the solution.

When I restart my PC, my WSL instance usually starts working again without having to change this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
