Repro Steps

Placing an windows executable on linux side and launching it like for e.g. wsl2-ssh-pageant results in a significant time delay. We've had multiple people report this issue over at BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant#24. It looks/behaves pretty similar to #7521 which wasn't able to launch the executable at all. It's important that these users report the issue with Windows 11 without the store version.

Expected Behavior

The speed should be the same not noticing a difference if the file is placed on windows filesystem or linux filesystem.

Actual Behavior

@kaeltis comment got me experimenting and uncovered the simplest of solutions: Copy wsl2-ssh-pageant.exe to your Windows user home directory and run it from there. Now the response time is blazing fast again - under 200ms.
