Thanks for your help, and you are right:=C2=A0 disabling= =C2=A0 select-active-regions=C2=A0 fixes it.

I don't think this is an Emacs bug.=C2=A0 Emacs puts the selected text = into
the X selection; I'm guessing that some WSL agent then copies that
selection into the Windows clipboard.=C2=A0 This doesn't happen when running on Windows natively.
