nvm alias default 18.19.0 command is not changing the default node version on wsl.

Is this version installed on your machine?
Check your default node version using "nvm alias default"

nvm -v is 0.39.7. I have installed node version 14 and v18 via nvm. The nvm alias default command does not change the node version and only defaults to v14. However, the command nvm use default 18.19.0 is working but when restarting WSL it falls back to v14.21.3.

Try command which node.
it gives you the path of the node binary currently active.
Check that ".nvm" is present on the path.

This is mine

nvm is present in which node command.

From the screenshot your machine load node 18 and not node14, so it seem that is resolved. Is it the case ??

It changes the node version but after closing the terminal or vs code, it reverts to node v14. The nvm alias default command is not working on WSL.

You don't have current alias. Maybe is this ...
Try this

# create alias named "current" that points to "default" aliased version
nvm alias current default
