Possible duplicate of #2060.

reverting to 10.0.19041.1 worked for me.

windows settings -> windows update -> pause updates(or turn off fast ring) 
-> recovery -> Go back to the previous version of windows 10

#2060 links to microsoft/WSL#4769 where I found the suggestion to update. So it seems this is an issue with windows insider preview build Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 19536.rs_prerelease.191211-1446 (WSL 2 Enabled). The issue has fixinbound tagged so hopefully it won't be too long before an update is released

Confirm, just started experiencing this on build 19536.rs_prerelease.191211-1446 today.

Also reverted.

Oddly, reverting to 19041.1 didn't seem to work for me, but found temporary solution of editing the hosts file and putting in the IP address of your WSL2 distro.

    #127.0.0.1 localhost
    YOUR IP HERE localhost

If your VM or computer restarts the IP will change of course. Then you will have to edit again. I can live with this until fix is dropped. Hope it helps!
