    Fully agree that WSL1 is very often a completely workable (and great) alternative to WSL2. For those who want to follow this path, however, note that you should not follow the "normal" WSL installation process (nor the Microsoft Store Preview). Use the Manual Installation instructions instead, and just perform steps 1 and 6. Commented Dec 8, 2021 at 17:09

    Thank you. I needed WSL for docker. Now I just want to revert this changes because I don't need wsl on my host and I installed it for learning purpose.

    @Yasi Yup, that's one good reason for requiring WSL2. ;-) Commented Dec 8, 2021 at 17:38
