    Please check Run with cmd administrator then type below command in each line then press Enter.

    wsl --shutdown

    wslconfig /unregister Ubuntu

    wsl --install --distribution Ubuntu

    Please Note: If you forgot the distro name, Please run 'wsl --list' from cmd line.

    I hope these steps resolve your issue. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    Arvind
