WSL is blocked by SAC ?

Hello,

I'm reaching out to the community for assistance with a persistent WSL issue. Upon attempting to launch WSL, I'm encountering the following error:

WslLaunchInteractive failed with error: 0x800711e6 - System Integrity policy has been violated. Explicit denied file.

Steps Taken:

1. I have reset the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
   
2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WSL.
   

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I am running Windows 11 build no: 22631.2715 with WSL 2.0.9.0, and the error occurs every time I try to start WSL.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? Specifically, I'm seeking guidance on navigating the System Integrity policy that's seemingly causing the block. Any insights into how Smart App Control impacts WSL's functionality and possible configurations to mitigate this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Error code: Wsl/ERROR_NOT_FOUND

If you (like me) have this problem and find this thread, a short summary (not a Tutorial) so far ( as of 24.11.2023 ).

Please read the whole comment before trying any of it!

• Github Link to the problem is: Wsl/ERROR_NOT_FOUND after installing Windows updates · Issue #10782 · microsoft/WSL
  
• Workaround:
  
  • Start WSL from an Elevated Terminal
    
  • So in "normal" language: Start your CMD/terminal with Admin Privileges then run the "WSL" command in this Terminal
    
• Manual Fix:
  
  • Type "regedit" in the Windows search and start Windows Registry Editor
    
  • Search and delete:
    
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PackagedCom\ClassIndex\{A9B7A1B9-0671-405C-95F1-E0612CB4CE7E}
    
• Official Fix:
  
  • In theory, there Is a fix pushed and live (Version 2.0.11)
    
  • But for me and others "WLS --update" does not pick it up so you have to install it manually:
    
    • Release 2.0.11 · microsoft/WSL
      
    • You (probably (to 99%)) need wsl.2.0.11.0.x64.msi
