Whenever an update is released, Windows Store terminates my WSL and updates it for me, regardless of any running processes. I'm using WSL2 for work for a long time. I don't think the update was this aggressive previously, at least before 2024.
Is there something I can do to prevent this? Thanks in advance.

Maybe it is not Windows Store who actually did the update? Maybe the Store just shows an update was done? What module performs the update?
I already turned off auto app updates in the Store settings and even enabled "Turn off Automatic Downloads and Install of updates" in the group policy.
