Here are the steps you can take to resolve the error:

  • Step 1 – List the distributions installed by running the following in PowerShell:

    wsl -l

  • Step 2 – Unregister the distribution. Replace “Ubuntu” with your distribution name found in Step 1:

    wsl --unregister Ubuntu

  • Step 3 – Launch the Ubuntu (or other distribution) which was installed using Microsoft Store​1​.

Please note that the _wsl --unregister Ubuntu_ command will completely uninstall your WSL distro. If you have any important data or settings in your WSL environment, make sure to back them up before proceeding.
