Hello, I've been using Ubuntu with WSL2 for a while now, but it has stopped functioning well the last weeks. The error I get when running Ubuntu for instance is:

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80080005

Error: 0x80080005 Server execution failed.

Sure, disabling wsl from windows functionalities, rebooting, enabling, rebooting again works, but it's not sustainable if the error happens 3/4 times (as is my case).

The major changes on my PC where windows updates. I would appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
