    Hi, EditingHero

    It seems that I was complicating the issue, I'm glad you solved the problem, as you said, I'll put the method together again: 

1. Run SFC and DISM:
    • Search for CMD, find the command prompt and select Run as administrator .
    • Type in the following commands one by one, and run the next command after the previous one has finished:. 
       DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth 

 DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth 

 DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\Sources\install.wim 

 SFC /Scannow
      1. Paused Windows update and update all the drivers from 3rd party software (Iobit driver booster).

    Best Regards

    Add the command

    --web-download

    As usual, the MS Store libraries do not not.

    No it was not issue with ubuntu it was with windows

    I tried to download iso of latest windwos 11

    and run

    sfc /scannow

    and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\Sources\install.wim

    and run all type of dism online and offline but I think iso method worked

    and also paused windows update and update all the drivers from 3rd party software (Iobit driver booster)

    and it fixed

    Before this method I have tried uninstalling and installing wsl many time but nothing happen

    you can comment the same method so that I can mark as solved

    THANK YOU
