Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4037]

WSL Version

FAILS: WITH SAME ERROR

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

FAILS: WITH SAME ERROR

Distro Version

CANT ENTER

Other Software

The main WSL only

Repro Steps

I have once deleted wsl - A power outage occured in the middle of it deleting, and now its fully corrupted, neither installed or removed, doesnt show up in program and features.

Not sure how to reproduce, its only a rare occuronce so not a bug, BUT nothing works to fix it

Attempted to use dism and sfc, both returned no errors,

Expected Behavior

To at least operate or open,

Actual Behavior

Anything related to wsl just fails entirely and does not in the slightest work or operate, disabling and re-enabling the feature was tried, IT used to work but not anymore (so required window and bios settings are fine) All other applications are operational, only wsl fails, no matter how or where it keeps failing, Also when i view it through the file manager, it shows its a empty folder, when i right click it to select properties i get the error shown in the attached image.

Here is the cmd prompt when running any command related to wsl:

PS C:\Users\Hp> wsl
Server execution failed
Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/Install/0x80080005
PS C:\Users\Hp> wsl.exe --version
Server execution failed
Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/Install/0x80080005
PS C:\Users\Hp> wsl -l -v
Server execution failed
Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/Install/0x80080005
PS C:\Users\Hp> wsl.exe --status
Server execution failed
Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/Install/0x80080005
