My WSL does not open and can't install the error code is 0x8007019e.
My system is Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview build 25267.1000.
I tried turning WSL off and back on in optional features and tried different versions of WSL I also tried installing via the Power Shell command, but to no avail.

    my problem was solved by updating WSL

    wsl --install

    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

    wsl --set-default-version 2

    Hello there,

    WSLRegisterDistribution Failed error can occur due to a corrupt Linux installation or if the Linux subsystem is disabled.

    Restarting the LxssManager Service might help in resolving this issue.Linux instance life cycle service i.e. LxssManager operates in the background to keep things under control.

    On the services find and restart the LxssManager service.

    Also check if the Windows Susbsystem for Linux feature is turned off if so try turning it on and reboot the device.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
