    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Whenever I try to install any Linux distro on WSL I get this error:

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    This is my setup:

    Versione WSL: 0.67.6.0
    Versione kernel: 5.15.62.1
    Versione WSLg: 1.0.44
    Versione MSRDC: 1.2.3401
    Versione Direct3D: 1.606.4
    Versione DXCore: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
    versione Windows: 10.0.22621.521

    The Ubuntu distro is not listed in the installed distro:

    wsl --list --all

    Sottosistema Windows per Linux non ha distribuzioni installate.

    Usare 'wsl.exe --list --online' per elencare le distribuzioni disponibili e 'wsl.exe --install ' per l'installazione.

    È anche possibile installare le distribuzioni visitando il Microsoft Store: Install WSL

    Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

    Anyway if I try to install Ubuntu I get this message:

    wsl --install -d Ubuntu

    Ubuntu è gi installato. (Ubuntu is alreday installed)
    Avvio di Ubuntu in corso...

    An then I get this message:

    Installing, this may take a few minutes...
    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324
    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    and here it stops.

    Hype-V is installed without adding any virtual machine or virtual switch in the control panel.

    Is someone having any clue?

    Thank you for any help.

    How to resolve WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80073cfc

    Have been running Ubuntu (22.04 LTS downloaded from the Microsoft store) on a virtual machine on my Windows 11 PC. However, for some reason, this error just came into existence today when I started the terminal. The terminal shows the following text:

    Installing, this may take a few minutes...

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80073cfc

    Error: 0x80073cfc The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling the application to fix the problem.

    Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows subsystem for linux and the virtual machine platform under "Turn Windows features on or off"; have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ubuntu from the Microsoft store. Have lastly tried a system restore as well.

    Please advise on how I ought to go about resolving this. Thank you
