WSL runs a standard Linux side by side with windows. There are no “Windows part” overlapping with it. A way to think about it is that you have two system that share devices and file systems.

the windows part is the windows that is running as the host os.

happy to run windows in a vm though, that way you can stop it when it starts doing weird windows things.
