Description

After speaking with Fabian Vogt and Nuno do Carmo from the WSL team, looks like the Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature method of installing WSL is not in active development anymore.

Microsoft just improved the wsl.exe CLI tool so that it can install the latest version from the MSstore itself with wsl --install --no-distribution command.

The idea is to change the installation process so that it uses the MSstore from now on, instead of the OS enable feature method.
