i have the same issue today,
environment: win11, WSL2

i remember yesterday i can use this app, but i installed OS updates, maybe this involved new conflict with app.

i try to find if there is log file created, but not found.

CPU usage continue keeping ~27%

the temp solution is: remove shared_preferences.json file from C:\Users[current user]\AppData\Roaming\com.bostrot\WSL Distro Manager
then restart the app.

Having the same problem, also. Installed via both scoop and choco, uninstalled/re-installed multiple times, run as admin, etc. etc. No luck. Worked great up until a few days ago.

OS = Windows 11
WSL = 2
