Sorry, I was going by the comment that showed up in my email inbox, which had Git Bash hidden.

Which one is the second WSL distro? All I can see there is Ubuntu.

Can you share the output of wsl -l?

Can't do it right now but one is the Ubuntu which you can see in the screenshot and other is Ubuntu-18.04 which doesn't show up here.

I can run Ubuntu 18 but it doesn't show up.

I will attach the log for the list once I get back.
