Maybe try setting it with something like "%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\wtd.exe"?

search 'terminal ' and setting the Windows Exec with wls.exe , 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsl.exe' for me.

wsl.exe launches Windows Subsytem for Linux for me with Ubuntu (It is the only distro installed).
Should I remove Ubuntu and then try?

I legitimately don't know how to do this - maybe @Tyriar might know?

Setting "terminal.external.windowsExec" to whatever the new executable is should work.
