    WSL 2 - Can't install Ubuntu 22.04 - Can't use any Ubuntu with WSL 2


    Hi! I did a clean install of Win 11 Pro yesterday. I did Windows update and I'm current.I tried to use WSL and install Ubuntu 22.04 with the new GUI. I'm a developer and this is the reason I went to Windows 11!When I install from the store it dies while unpacking with a message to run wsl --shutdown and wsl --unregister <Distro name>.No distros are registered at the time. After googling I set my default version of WSL to 1 and opened the MS Store Ubuntu 22.04 again. It installed and I set up my user and password. The I tried to set the version to 2 as stated in the google results. Erro

    :)

    WSL 2 - Can't install Ubuntu 22.04 - Can't use any Ubuntu with WSL 2

    Install Ubuntu in WSL with “Something happened on our end"

    Alternate:

    In the search,

    type powershell, right-click it and choose run as administrator.

    Execute:

    wsl --install -d ubuntu

    This would install WSL and Ubuntu both.

    Let us know how that goes.
