Suddenly can't install any packages with pip - pip

Question

I am on Windows 11 and using Ubuntu 20.04.5 . I recently (3 days ago) updated my Windows, which I think could be related to this problem but also might not be. Specifically, I am suspicious of the update labelled
Windows Subsystem for Linux WSLg Preview - 1.0.27
Which I installed 3 days ago.
This is my own personal computer.
Pip: pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)
This is my first question and I am mostly just the type of person who wants to use pip and python and not worry about it. So if I forgot important background/version info just tell me how to get it and I will try to add it.
Anytime I try to install a package with pip, I get:
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ReadTimeoutError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=120)")': /simple/pytorch/
Including if I use
--default-timeout=1000
Then it just waits 1000s of my time instead of 15. My internet speed seems fine for everything else.
Here is what I have tried so far by reading everything I could find after googling the error (nothing changed at all):
Uninstalling and reinstalling pip
Disabling IPv6
Disabling as well as completely uninstalling the VPN i had
Restarting computer
Restarting Router (including hard reset)
Restarting Modem
Disabling Windows firewall (temporarily just to see if it would fix it, reenabled afterwards).
Clearing display variable
Unset DISPLAY
and including in pip install
--no-cache-dir
Updating things
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
If I try
sudo pip install pytorch -vvv
Then I get
Non-user install because site-packages writeable
