I am using kubuntu and recently my .desktop files no longer launch from my desktop. If I go to ~/desktop in dolphin I can double click the same files and they launch just fine from there.
When I do try to launch from desktop it just shows a blank file icon very briefly.
Only new thing I’ve done since they stopped working is install virt-manager and QEMU to set up a Windows vm.
I also tried creating a new user and the problem still persisted, which means it is not anything in my home directory.
I’ve tried googling but haven’t found anyone with the same problem as me.

Nvm I solved it, just had to dive a bit deeper into Google.
Solution was to run
sudo apt purge wslu
