Answer 1

Hello!

I had the same problem two days ago and I solved it using this method, which I kindly ask you to try out:

In Windows Search Bar, look for "Turn Windows features on or off". Launch it and scroll down until you find "Windows Subsystem for Linux". You'll find it not checked, so you need to check it. Then, your PC will ask your for a reboot. After this, try to launch Ubuntu again and it should work just fine.

Answer 2

you need to install the ubuntu to solve it

Run the below command and it should be good

wsl --install Ubuntu

Answer 3

After installing on Win11 this Windows Feature while trying to run Ubuntu distro for the first time, an error was displayed. From regular user account:

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x8004032d
Error: 0x8004032d (null)
Press any key to continue...

And from administrator account - a bit more informative:

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800701bc
Error: 0x800701bc WSL 2 requires an update to its kernel component.

Yes, I can handle this. But I would call this unexpected obstacle.

O meu deu o mesmo problema, então eu fui no: https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel.
E realizei a configuração zero.

Habilitei o Subsistema do Windows para Linux

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

Habilitei o recurso de Máquina Virtual

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

Baixei o pacote de atualização do kernel do Linux

Defini o WSL 2 como a sua versão padrão

Reiniciei minha máquina Execultei o ubuntu como administrador.
