Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.985]

Other Software

WSL

C:\>wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* docker-desktop         Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Stopped         2

Steps to reproduce

Add such entry for WSL in profile

            {
                "guid": "{9acb9455-ca41-5af7-950f-6bca1bc9722f}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "Ubuntu",
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
            }

Expected Behavior

See the profile showing up.

As far as I know WSL should be detected and created automatically, meaning that the entry above should be always there (see https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/3231#issuecomment-542966078), but this doesn't happen for some reason

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens
