Windows 10: WSL - Access Denied

Hi, I am experiencing this issue when trying to install and run docker desktop on my laptop:I have tried running wsl --update from powershell run as admin and am getting the error Access is denied.To fix that, I read somewhere that changing permissions for the WindowsApps folder works, so I did that, it did not fix this error.Next, I tried doing a Windows Update since this issue is also caused by having the broken Windows version installed, and tried checking for updates where I got this error:To fix this, I tried everything mentioned in this link:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/

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.

 

WSL Access is denied after updating to Windows 10 - 2004

On my Windows 10 - 1909 the Windows Subsystem for Linux was working. After updating to Windows 10 - 2004 I'm getting "Access is denied".

I'm running as local admin.

Error happens when I using start menu icon, or open cmd as admin.

I've tried removing the WSL feature, rebooting, reinstall. It did not solve the problem.

Any recommendations on how if fix WSL?

Thanks,
