I also tried some other commands, like:
wsl --set-version xxxx
wsl --mount xxxx
All of them got "access is denied"

[tzyking1]

After I perform "--set-default-version 1", I can install the "Ubuntu-18.04(wsl-1)",
but when I tried to "wsl --set-version Ubuntu-18.04 2", I also got the "access is denied"..
That is so frustrate. Many source codes in my wsl2... I can't open them now..
Who can help me?

You need to be running as an administrator. That is what’s causing the problem.

Looks like creating the virtual network is failing. I will follow up with the networking team to see if they can determine why.

It would be great if you could do the following:

1. starthnstrace.ps1
2. Repro
3. Stop the trace in 1
4. collectlogs.ps1

The trace initiated in 1 will give us more information on the failure.

The files gathered in 4 will gives us more state and system logs.

Thanks,
Keith
