Commands from Minikube "Get Started" tutorials not working as expected

Question

OS: Windows 10 Pro (Build: 19043.1706)
Docker Desktop 4.8.2 (79419) running on Windows WSL 2
WSL Distribution: Ubuntu-20.04 (Default)
Minikube version: v1.25.2

I am beginning to learn Kubernetes and as such started off with the "Get Started" tutorials found on their official website, the links are given below:
minikube start
Hello Minikube

The first problem was encountered when I followed along the instructions given in the first tutorial given above and executed the below command:

minikube dashboard

Essentially, after a rather long wait period, I got a timeout error with an error messages that read something along the lines of the following:

X Exiting due to SVC_URL_TIMEOUT: http:///api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/ is not accessible: checkURL: Get "http:///api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/": http: no Host in request URL

Thereafter, I went back to reading the second tutorial and there I realized that I should've executed the command 'minikube dashboard' from a different terminal. This time it worked out and the dashboard page opened in my browser.

The next problem was encountered when executing the below command:

minikube service hello-minikube

It did open the browser, but the webpage timed out and nothing was displayed on the browser. However, when I tried the alternative given below:

kubectl port-forward service/hello-minikube 7080:8080

I was able to view the webpage at the location 'http://localhost:7080/' on my browser. I left the first tutorial at that point.

The same thing happened even in the second tutorial. I followed along and successfully continued on to create a deployment and a service, until I had to execute the following:

minikube service hello-node

The same thing happened and the browser wasn't able to display the webpage.

Following is the output when I execute "kubectl get po -A":

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> kubectl get po -A

Why am I encountering this problem when executing the commands of the form "minikube service [service-name]"? Any kind of assistance would be highly appreciated.
