WSL2: The remote procedure call failed. #5913
Comments
Microsoft has acknowledged that this is an error in KB4571756. See workaround on this thread in response by @alexpaluzzi. |
I have referred to the solution in the Solutions Tried section. In short, uninstalling the update did not fix the issue for me. |
For me after installing that update it not just break WSL2, it breaks Hyper-V in generell on 2004 and 20H1. Other stuff that use Virtualization like Device Guard still works. |
OMG. Were you able to fix it? I feel like my Hyper-V is probably broken as well. |
If you are in build 20211 you didn't need KB4571756. Did you install it manually? |
I fixed it by using this workaround by restoring and registering VmSynthNic.dll see #5880 (comment) |
No, this is the version I got from |

I am trying that solution now. But somehow my permission to overwrite that file got denied, it says I can only modify the files in System32 if I am a TrustedInstaller. Trying to overwrite the file with administrator permission did not work either. |
Thanks, I am trying that now. But to override the file in System32, it says I need to be a TrustedInstaller. Using administrator permission did not work. How did you do it? |
NVM. That file is not missing and the last modified date is 09/06. The backup file I found has the same size and last modified date. So I guess replacing that file will not help. |
@jasonyux You say you uninstalled KB4571756. Can you open View Reliability History and see which day the KB4571756 was installed? Also which build number do you see in |
|
@jasonyux Thanks. I know this can be confusing but when you upgrade to an Insider Dev build like 20211 you are in a new state where cumulative Updates like KB4571756 doesn't apply. Your only option is rolling back to the Windows version you were before upgrading ( build 19041?) with Settings ->Update & Security -> Recovery. After that you should be able to use the available workarounds. |
@onomatopellan Thanks. Will try it now. |

to get trustedinstall you need to modify the services command line to do your work. you can do that by using the very old and often unknown tool called sc.exe with the config parameter. but disable any anti-maleware-software to avoid service hooking false alarms. |
