What happens if you run WSL from CMD?

That'll do it. Right now, and until we make a release with #2298 included, your settings will "roam" from machine to machine. The exact name of the Ubuntu distribution on your first machine probably doesn't match the one on your second.

Can you confirm that the name after wsl.exe -d matches the name of your distribution when you run wsl.exe -l?

Name did not match completely, wsl.exe -l showed up Ubuntu-18.04 (Standard). Currently I am wondering why it worked in the first place. Most important is, that it is fixed now, thanks
