    Sorry for the delayed response. I was doing some research about the issue.

    This errot "Wsl/InstallDistro/0x80072ee2" can also occur due to connection error.

    Could you please disable IPv6 and use a generic DNS and try to open WSL?

    Open Run. (Windows+R)

    Type "ncpa.cpl" and press Enter.

    Double click on the active network.

    Click on Properties.

    Uncheck IPv6

    Press OK.

    Restart the PC.

    Now open WSL (Ubuntu)

    If the is persists, go back to "ncpa.cpl"> Properties

    Double click on IPv4

    Click on "Use the following DNS server" button.

    Enter the following DNS server

    8.8.8.8

    Alternate DNS server.

    8.8.4.4

    Press OK > Restart the PC.

    Now check WSL. Let me know how it goes.

    Did the Ubuntu installation from Microsoft Store give any error message?

    Hello, my name is Anis. I'll be glad to help you today.

    Please refer to the following page and perform the steps to successfully install WSL.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/i...

    If it fails, please consider installing Ubuntu from Microsoft Store. It has the same Linux terminal.

    Please let me know how it goes.
