    You were looknig at the WSL releases. You need to look at the WSL Kernel releases. 5.4.72 is from 2/22/21 which was included with a version of WSL earlier than 0.47.1 since that included the 5.10.60 kernel. The current stable version is 1.1.3 and your kernel version should be reported as 5.15.90.1. Where you are is that your WSL and WSLKernel is extremely out of date. If I were to guess your WSL2 isn't from the Windows Store, if it was, your kernel wouldn't be 2 and half years old.

    How can I find this version number in my version of WSL? run wsl --version Commented Apr 10, 2023 at 23:35
  • @JaromandaX tx. Unfortunately my version of wsl doesn't have the --version switch. Yes, I'm way out of date and obviously need to update. Commented Apr 11, 2023 at 16:54
