    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Whenever I try to install any Linux distro on WSL I get this error:

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    This is my setup:

    Versione WSL: 0.67.6.0
    Versione kernel: 5.15.62.1
    Versione WSLg: 1.0.44
    Versione MSRDC: 1.2.3401
    Versione Direct3D: 1.606.4
    Versione DXCore: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
    versione Windows: 10.0.22621.521

    The Ubuntu distro is not listed in the installed distro:

    wsl --list --all

    Sottosistema Windows per Linux non ha distribuzioni installate.

    Usare 'wsl.exe --list --online' per elencare le distribuzioni disponibili e 'wsl.exe --install ' per l'installazione.

    È anche possibile installare le distribuzioni visitando il Microsoft Store: https://aka.ms/wslstore

    Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

    Anyway if I try to install Ubuntu I get this message:

    wsl --install -d Ubuntu

    Ubuntu è gi installato. (Ubuntu is alreday installed)
    Avvio di Ubuntu in corso...

    An then I get this message:

    Installing, this may take a few minutes...
    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324
    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    and here it stops.

    Hype-V is installed without adding any virtual machine or virtual switch in the control panel.

    Is someone having any clue?

    Thank you for any help.

    WSL2 for windows

    I have failed into installing WSL for Windows. I have read here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10 how to do it, and at step 4:


    1. Download the latest package:
      [COLOR=var(--text)][COLOR=var(--info-dark)] Note[/COLOR]
      If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo | find "System Type".
      [/COLOR]
    2. Run the update package downloaded in the previous step. (Double-click to run - you will be prompted for elevated permissions, select ‘yes’ to approve this installation.)

    I encountered:


    WSL2 not working: WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070424 298438d1600682026t-wsl2-windows-image.png


    and


    WSL2 not working: WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070424 298439d1600682036t-wsl2-windows-image.png


    What I did wrong ? I have the following W10 version:

    WSL2 not working: WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070424 298440d1600682100t-wsl2-windows-image.png


    Another question: am I in the the right forum ?
