Windows 10: WSL2 Failing to start. Error: [process exited with code 4294967295 0xffffffff]

This started after I fully changed my local username, including the user path, so I think that is the issue. But I do not know how to remedy it.

:)

 

Terminal exiting with code 4294967295 every time

I have been struggling with this problem very recently. The terminal will give me the regular prompt, at which point I can quickly type something in and maybe get it to run, but then in about 5 seconds I get the "[process exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff)]" message.

When and Where

This problem occurs in any terminal I open, be it Command Prompt, the Terminal app, or Visual Studio Code.

What I've Tried

I have tried disabling and shutting down WSL2 because that was recommended, but it changed nothing. I have no clue how to fix it, and since I haven't found anything else online that seems to address this problem I don't want to try to do something funny in Safe Mode, so I haven't done that. I have tried removing my Linux profile from the Terminal app, but it changed nothing.

If anyone can give me some help, that would be great. Obviously, I can't do anything that requires the terminal (besides maybe a quickly executing one-liner), except in the terminal I can bring up using the advanced startup menu (Shift + Restart)

Hello!

A few days ago, wsl2 stopped working with Ubuntu-20.04. I think it happened after the update.

But Ubuntu-22.04 works. I installed it for her to check.





Error text when trying to open console with Ubuntu-20.04:

The waiting time for the operation was due to the fact that no response was received from the VM or container.
