Context:
I'm using Next.js 12+ on my primary PC with WSL. Changes to the front-end don't auto-compile with next dev, but the API works fine. The same setup on another PC (without WSL) works perfectly.

Issue:
Front-end changes aren't reflected in real-time. I have to manually recompile to see updates.

What I Expect:
Auto-compilation of front-end changes without manual recompilation.

What I've Tried:

- Verified react and react-dom are up to date.
- Ran npm install.
- Deleted node_modules and reinstalled dependencies.
- Tried different Node.js versions.
- Tested on another PC (without WSL) and it works fine.
