    WSL is broken


    In Windows 10 Pro Insider 20190.1000 whenever I try installing a distro from MS Store, it downloads fine, but after launch it says "Installing, please wait" then fails with the following error message:

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800706be
    Error: 0x800706be The remote procedure call failed.


    I tried it with Ubuntu and with Debian, neither of them work.

    I tried disabling the WSL feature from "Turn Windows features on or off", rebooting, turning it back on, rebooting again, trying with both distros again, and the same error happened again with both.


    This issue is driving me nuts as I really need a Linux-only CLI tool right now, and I can't do anything to get it working.

    :)

    WSL in windows Store

    Actually, this is a consumer-oriented forum for general Windows 10 questions.

    As WSL concerns mostly developers and Enterprise, I suggest asking there.

    Recovering Debian WSL after restting PC

    Hi stéphane70,

    Thank you for sharing a few details about yout concern. To get your Debian WSL
    installed on your Windows 10, I recommend the steps suggested on this article. You might also want to check the
    distros available after the installation for your reference. If you still get the same error
    message, I advise that you perform a clean boot first and seek if the issue still re-occurs. There might
    be a program that is preventing your WSL to be installed. However, if you still get the same issue, then the next steps is
    creating a new user profile and naming it as
    test. By doing so, we'd be able to eliminate the possibility of a certain setting hindering the installation.

    I'll be waiting for the results and your response to assist you for there.
