looks like there is a bug with some built out, when sharing/accessing folders between windows and WSL2, it won’t work.
out of windows, it cannot access \\wsl$
, something like


similarly, `explorere.exe .` from wsl2 would bring the windows home directory, instead of current WSL2 path.
The fix is to run
`
reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider /s
`
if P9NP is missing from the Order
and HwOrder
, it needs to be manually added.
it was missing P9NP
before, however, once added as highlighted below:

it now worked

and the way to modify that registry, is to export it as a file (.reg), then manually add P9NP in the file, then open the file (by default by registry editor).
