Tested the sideload version from the build https://github.com/ubuntu/WSL/actions/runs/32261101807 on a Windows 10 VM running the build number 10.0.19045.6456. All looking good. |

LGTM. I wouldn't say no to pinning the Windows runner version we use to prevent this, but it also acts as a good warning that it's time to bump things, so it's probably also fine to keep it as is.

Alternatively we could change the GH runner to
windows-2022and hardcode one of the older SDK versions for the time they remain available:Keeping the project buildable on the latest seems more sustainable.
