I got WSL setup in my computer without the admin rights.

Sure you didn't just get it without UAC?

If you actually don't have admin rights, was this WSL1?

I honestly don't remember how I did it. But I have WSL2 with ubuntu. I know ubuntu I downloaded from the windows app store.

That's interesting. The mainline builds seem to require running dism.exe with admin rights, and the preview builds require running "wsl.exe --install" with admin rights. Curious how you got around that.
