How to install WSL without admin right?
Are you a developer? The way I managed to get WSL was when an IT support person updated my Docker Desktop and enabled the WSL 2 backend. Unfortunately installing a distro didn't work but I managed to work around that using LxRunOffline. However now I can install any distro using "wsl --install".

WSL stopped booting after Windows update
You could run wsl --export to backup your Ubuntu env. Or there's a tool called lxrunoffline that could do the same thing too.

Kali-xRDP • GUI add-on for Kali Linux in WSL1 or 2
The script will download the LxRunOffline distro manager to bootstrap the installation. Install times will vary depending on system performance and presence of antivirus software. A fast system with broadband Internet can complete the install in under 10 minutes and most machines will complete within 20 minutes.
