I’ve had a not so great experience and could use some advice. I opted to install WSL using the command line but there was a problem, so I removed it and reinstalled the app titled simply ‘Ubuntu’ from the Microsoft Store but the problem still persists.

The problem is whenever I run any command in WSL, the progress bar/status stalls or never updates itself. Installing a new language, non package, Ubuntu stuff, whatever, doesn’t seem to work on first try. Once I ‘Ctrl+C’ and re-enter the command, it works flawlessly.

Besides that, I think Windows 11 has been great so far! I like it.

Might be the terminal? I’m using Terminal Preview and never had an issue.
I've been using the new Terminal ever since it was first announced. It was fine before I upgraded to Windows 11 from 10.
I ended up doing a fresh install of 11, now that I think about it. IIRC, I did an upgrade first and all kinds of crap was messed up.
