The has to do with an issue with binding to ports from the Linux Subsystem. Because Bitcoin Core can't bind to the necessary ports, you can't access it over RPC nor will it be able to accept incoming connections. This is a problem with the subsystem itself so you will have to wait for later releases to fix that.

It should, however, be possible to fix programmatically IMHO?
No, it's a problem with the Linux subsystem itself.
No. Its a problem with people thinking every solution to software is to install Linux and Linux tools where they don't belong.

Compile it for Windows or run Linux in a VM but don't poison Windows with Linux hacks.
