It is possible to launch WSL services with a Windows Task at logon. That decouples them from bash instances. The only trick, IIRC, is to allow the startup script to run without asking for a password in /etc/sudoers with a NOPASSWD: prefix.

Never tried the task at boot option, but maybe it can also work?

I struggled with my pages sometimes loading and sometimes timing out.
I kept getting upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, errors in my valet log.
As per this post, microsoft/WSL#393 (comment),
I added fastcgi_buffering off; to my site's Nginx config under .valet/Nginx.

Seemed to have solved my issue!
