My laptop has a screen resolution of 3480x2160 . . . and therefore there is a scale factor in display of 250%. WSL2 manager does not preserve the screen size with which it is resized, so starting up always comes out with a tiny screen that needs to be enlarged. This does not happen in other apps.

Describe the bug Love the simple WSL GUI!

I have changed/saved the "Default Distro location" from C:\WSL2-Distros" to another folder (actually a subfolder of wsl2distromanager.exe. When I launch wsl2distromanager.exe it still creates C:\WSL2-Distros folder. Is this on purpose? The Main GUI looks to show the correct folder but whenever I create a new ubuntu instance it creates C:\WSL2-Distros\distros....

Also any plans to add a button or something to set/enable the new bridging capabilities recently added to newer builds of WSL via .wslconfig file?
