WSL lxssmanager not running, but wsl is. How is that possible? (I thought the former was required for the latter)

After the latest Windows 11 update broke my WSL, while troubleshooting I noticed that my LSXXManager was not running, but wsl was. (Eventually resolved my issue - the default distribution had changed by the update. Things for me are now fixed - sort of) but still, . . . I see WSL running just fine, but without LSXXManager running. How is that possible? Can someone please explain.

    I believe that your question will be better resolved if it is posted in a more suitable location, you may get better help in the WSL community, on GitHub, where you be able to find the developers and other WSL users that will be able to explain to you how the WSL work and why lxssmanager is not running and how to fix it.
