## Description
Good evening,
This is more of a feature enhancement than bug. The idea would be to use fzf.exe (windows binaries) in WSL.
### Current state
Typing fzf.exe in WSL (while fzf.exe is in windows' path) works perfectly and is around a hundred times than fzf (wsl binaries) due to fzf.exe running outside of WSL.
### Idea
Make ** bash completion work using fzf.exe rather fzf in WSL

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Bash completion entry point and checking how it invokes fzf in WSL; done means completion uses the Windows fzf.exe while preserving existing behavior.
