I'm trying to import an image in a disconnected environment, but it fails. I have Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, and Windows Subsystem for Linux enabled. I disabled/enabled Hyper-V. Rebooted many times. Reinstalled wsl.2.2.4.0.x64.msi.
wsl --import Ubuntu22 c:\users\estoces\wsldistrostorage\ubuntu22 .\ubuntu22.tar --version 2

Hello estoces,
Thanks for your post.
Please try unregistering and uninstalling Ubuntu from WSL first
wsl --unregister Ubuntu
Then install it again by running
wsl --install Ubuntu
Best Regards,

Unfortunately I can not submit a comment on the solution provided, so here is my response. The response does not solve my problem.
Ubuntu is not installed. No distributions are as the command wsl -l -v shows. Furthermore, I'm in a disconnected environment and can't do wsl --install. I have to import the tar file with the command I provided.
