I installed Ubuntu successfully earlier but uninstalled it. Now when I'm trying to reinstall it, I get error code 0x80071772. What should I do?

    Hello @Jaihson Kresak

    This happens because the package won't force to be installed in C:.

    Remove the WSL app and then change your Windows settings for "Change were new content is saved"

    Make your that new applications install in C:

    After it is installed you can change it back to your preferred drive.

    Hope this helps with your query,
