Repro Steps

map \wsl$ to a network drive, used to work but no longer works. I get an error message wsl.localhost is not accessible. \wsl$ redirects to \wsl.localhost which is not accessible.

using explorer I can browse to Linux to get the distro list but when I double-click on Debian I get an error message "Attempt to access invalid address"

This is after a recent update to WSL2

Expected Behavior

WSL2 share should work like it used to and should be able to be mapped to a network drive

Actual Behavior

wsl.localhost is inaccessible, attempt to access an invalid address.. no further info provided

Update: I was able to fix this, but it is still a BUG with the product.

For anyone else running into this issue:

in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order and HwOrder the P9NP value should be the 1st one in the comma separated list.

After the change you need to restart the computer.
