So i have been trying to install and run Ubuntu on my PC. I followed the general commands one need to use through Power shell (administrator), like wsl --install etc etc. Now, there's an error coming when i run the ubuntu app, "WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x8004032d
Error: 0x8004032d (null)
Press any key to continue..."
So i watched some youtube videos and they told me to enable the above 2 mentioned features. But when i restart my PC after enabling these 2 features, a brief message is displayed on a black screen saying, "We couldn't complete the features. No need to worry -- undoing the changes. Please keep your computer on." And when i check those 2 features again in the control panel, these 2 features become unchecked again.
A little back story is, prior to this i had tried installing and running VMware a dozen times but to no success. So i had to uninstall it. I asked these similar queries to a couple of AI's and all of them said the same thing, that if i had Vmware or VirtualBox installed previously or currently they could be interfering with it. Please tell me what should i do. i have been manually deleting all possible files, folders registries related to VmWare but no success yet. Please tell me if there are any Third-party apps that could erase or delete such hidden files and directories concerning a particular software. I have tried IoBit uninstaller, Geek uninstaller and BC Uninstaller but they only delete applications and their registries currently installed. Also to keep in mind i uninstalled that VmWare manually which left some residuals.
Please tell me what are the possible solutions. Do I Clean Install my Windows 11 ? Or is there any 3rd party app?
I have been stuck from past 8 days.
