I can confirm the problem: WSL is really a huge step forward, if you are developing on Windows. Until it breaks. In my case, all dynamic ports are bound but not released anymore, resulting in the machine not being able to access anything outside anymore.

A Docker container with X looks like the most reproducible solution to me, however it needs again a lot of work. So I am probably constrained to jump on the Insider-program-train. I'm a little bit troubled, though, as it is my work machine.
