As far as I can tell it executes the linux sub-system as called and
will attempt to run the script.

I would try more debugging on your end as I am not sure exactly what
is going on environment wise on your system.

1. How did you install ansible on the system
2. Have the script print out the environment variables that are being
seen and compare them from the two runs.

I noticed a major difference between the environment variables when
running from power shell versus running in the environment. These
sorts of differences are expected because bash may not source certain
files depending on how it is invoked. My guess is that the python
fired inside of a Ubuntu is getting set up with certain paths and the
direct call isn't.

Seems to work if you use a full path.
Also when you run bash.exe from a CMD window it executes the command in the current dir by looks of things

in wsl

cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
ansible 10, -m win_ping
## end of test.sh

in CMD prompt:

bash -c "/home/jon/test.sh"

WIN10TEST| SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
