Okay. I did re-install (not for the reasons mentioned although they are very informative; rather, because a new Debian instance appeared in add-remove programs after restart). I also had to switch to WSL v1 (not sure why v2 doesn't work on my system anymore). I had trouble setting the initial root password (you have to login as root and then type passwd rather than using su - root because that requires a password and a blank password does not work). So, a lot of interesting things going on, but steps are being taken. I think your answer will work for most people. Thank you very much!
