Hello,
Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum.
You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
- Enable WSL function:
Press Win + R to open Run, enter ptinalfeatures, and press Enter to open the Windws Features screen. Ensure that Windws subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machine Platform are selected. Then restart the computer.
- Check whether WSL is installed:
Open a command prompt or PwerShell and type wsl --list to see which Linux distributions are installed. If nothing is displayed, WSL may not be installed correctly.
Check that the C:\Windws\System32\wsl.exe file exists. If it does not exist, try reinstalling WSL.
- Update WSL:
Make sure your WSL version is up to date. It can be updated with the following command:
wsl --update
- Reinstall WSL:
To run the command prompt or PwerShell as an administrator, enter the following command:
wsl --shutdwn
wsl --unregister <distributin_name>
wsl --install --distributin <distributin_name>
For example, if you are using Ubuntu, you can replace <distributin_name> with Ubuntu.
Best regards
Jacen
