While I love WSL2, my biggest beef with the install process is I had to turn on almost every crap privacy-busting feature back on. I had 'decrapified' my Windows 10 install previously and the WSL2 reversed almost all that.

That's probably a function of WSL2 currently only being available in Insider, no? If you want to use pre-release builds, I think it's fair to expect that you need to enable telemetry.

Why did you install a preview build of Windows then? Wait for release.
