VSCode trying to update WSL on launch for literally no reason #233618
Description
Type: Bug
Every time I launch VS Code after the latest update, it opens a Terminal.exe that tries to update WSL. I don't have WSL installed at all on my system, and I don't have any exstensions that require or assume WSL to be installed. This is really annoying. Please fix.
Windows Subsystem for Linux must be updated to the latest version to proceed. You can update by running 'wsl.exe --update'.

This prompt will time out in 60 seconds.
