I've got Symantec endpoint protection on my work laptop, using WSL and doing an npm install causes the laptop to Blue Screen everytime.
The bsod error indicates it's Symantec.
My solution is that it seems to be because it's creating so many files so quickly, so I made a power profile that sets the max cpu frequency as 5%, it takes longer but doesn't break the computer.
In comparison windows defender is slow but works. Haha.
I have the same problem. Makes WSL completely unusable for all practical purposes. Might try your mitigation, but it feels a bit like cutting off a leg to get out of a bear trap.
