Since I'm a noob at security, I only recently learned that it's less than ideal to grant admin privileges to the account you use every day, that you should have a separate account that has admin privileges. Well, I went ahead and created an account just for admin use. I logged into this account and removed admin privileges from my regular account. When I logged back into the regular account, all traces of my Ubuntu distro were gone, though WSL was still installed. Entering `wsl` on the command line, even in elevated user mode (meaning I had to enter the password of the new admin user), brought up a message saying no distros were installed. I logged back into the new admin account and got the same result. I gave admin privileges back to my regular account, logged back into it, and sure enough, Ubuntu was back again. So what can I do to have access to my Ubuntu distro as a user with no admin privileges?
