Can you give some more info about your first point, where your main Windows is moved into a parent VM ?

Sure:

1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq

"The newest version of WSL uses Hyper-V architecture to enable its virtualization"

A little bit of detail on impact, but incomplete/generic.

2. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrati...

"Hyper-V features a Type 1 hypervisor-based architecture. "

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-w...

Has some basic info, worth a read.

> In addition, if you have Hyper-V enabled, those latency-sensitive, high-precision applications may also have issues running in the host. This is because with virtualization enabled, the host OS also runs on top of the Hyper-V virtualization layer, just as guest operating systems do.

That's just how Hyper-V (Microsofts VM hypervisor) works, it's a type 1 (bare metal) hypervisor, where everything else runs in a VM.
