Description
I'm on a corporate computer where all windows update functions are disabled. My WSL therefore cannot run `wsl --update`.
How to update to the newest version of WSL nevertheless? Is there an offline installer for WSL, or can it be provided?
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue concerns updating WSL when Windows Update is disabled and asks about an offline installer. Start by checking the documented behavior of `wsl --update` and whether WSL provides an offline installation path. Done would be a confirmed supported procedure or a clear answer that no such path is available.
