wsl-reset --reset - shuts down WSL, resets the WSL service, and installs any WSL updates, if available

wsl-reset --hard-reset - shuts down WSL, stops the WSL service, uninstalls WSL, and re-installs WSL

wsl-reset --destrutive-reset - shuts down WSL, restarts the WSL service, unregisters all WSL distros, stops the WSL service, uninstalls WSL, and re-installs WSL
