A connection with the server could not be established
I am trying to install WSL distro on my laptop. It is new with windows 11. But I am constantly getting the following error:
"A connection with the server could not be established"
Even when I tried to clone a git repository, I got the same error.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: I am doing wsl --list --online

2022-12-02T12:23:52.443+00:00 Hello there,
try installing the Linux kernel update package and see if that helps. Download the Linux kernel update package https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
Please make sure that virtualization is enabled inside your computer's BIOS. The instructions on how to do this will vary from computer to computer, and will most likely be under CPU-related options.

You should first enable the features "Virtual Machine Platform" and "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
You may find these under TURN WINDOWS FEATURES ON OR OFF section which you can find in control pannel under PROGRAMS section
Your restarts a couple of times
