I have been trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian through the windows store, the only button available is "Get", but pressing it does nothing.
I have enabled/disabled WSL a few times and rebooted.
I previous had WSL preview, and then ubuntu 16.04 installed via the app store. Both are completely removed.
