I upgraded to WSL 2 because I discovered several instances online where people had run into issues with WSL and Solr together. This fixed the problem of Solr not starting. However, it triggered a new issue where I could not connect to the Solr server via localhost. The only thing that worked was to use a different port than the default. My guess is that something is using the default Solr port (or that it is blocked) and thus using a different port was necessary. **TL;DR** Upgrading to WSL 2 and changing the port number fixed the issue.
