updating from 9926 to 10041 on SLOW, error 0x80070050

Hello,

When i try to update from 9926 to 10041, i get the error 0x80070050.

It downloads the update, gets stuck on "preparing to install" step and then shows me the error 0x80070050.

I searched online, could not find a solution, many of the solutions (with different error codes) talked about modifying some registry entries, but my registry values seem to be fine.

I also tried stopping services and renaming some folders under %windir% and %windir%/system32 but got the same result.

I also tried to switch to FAST and download 10049 but again, got the same error.

 

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070050

I just updated Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from Microsoft Store. After that, I tried opening it in case I need to do some updates. However, the following message appears.

Installing, this may take a few minutes...

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070050

Error: 0x80070050 The file exists.

I have tried the following solutions:

• using the repair function from the app setting
  
• shutting down wsl
  
• rebooting my laptop
  
• restarting the LxssManager
  
• turning off and on the WSL features
  

but it still does not solve the problem.

May I know what is the cause of this error and how to solve it? It may be beneficial to others who may encounter the same problem as I did after updating the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from Microsoft Store. As much as possible, I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu again

I ask this question in your suggested site

Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070050: Security Update for Skype for Business Server 2015 (KB3061064) - Microsoft Q&A

But I think this site is better for my question, because my question exist in Windows 11 with UCMA.
