I have to do the following to get my WSL external network access back every time I return from standby

wsl --shutdown
wsl
# check external access
ping 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=9.47 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=57 time=8.53 ms
^C

To create a report that shows when you computer goes into standby

1 2	`# elevated prompt` `powercfg /sleepstudy`
