  2. 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: Install WSL

    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.

  3. WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80004005

    I got the same error with Ubuntu.

    On Stackoverflow I found this:
    error 0x80004005 when install bash on ubuntu on windows 10


    It mentions special characters in the windows user name, as well as changing page sizes for the hard drive.

    I tried that, as well as restarting LxssManager, re-enabled Linux-Subsystem, and all with reboots in between, nothing changed.

    With openSuse 42 I'm getting a different error (Error: 0x80040302), and I see the error right away. With Ubuntu it takes some minutes.

    My machine is in a domain, so some group policies are applied. I have no idea if this might be related.

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040302 Error: 0x80040302 null.

    ie error null?

    After some research into the ie error windows cannot null where all my bookmarks and links give a blank page and this error then load, sometimes several times.. and yes as a workaround I am using firefox.

    Can I remove this component from windows?
