Is Control Flow Guard (CFG) disabled in your system? If yes, try to enable it first.

[mra-h]

It is on. I tried as well with with it off but still same issue. It is a weird error I havent found it anywhere online

[Biswa96]

The error code 0xc0000606 is defined in Windows SDK as STATUS_STRICT_CFG_VIOLATION. That means "The specified image file was blocked from loading because it does not enable a feature required by the process: Control Flow Guard."

No idea then. How comes it can work in WSL 1 and not 2? Shouldnt the same error be raised?

[DraymondBruce]

I got the same issue, even after I upgraded to win11. CFG was enabled when this error occured. After I disabled CFG, the error didnt show up but wsl --list hang forever.

I finally made it work. Disabling/Enabling CFG globally did not work. I had to follow these steps but for both of these programs.

It means you need to disalbe CFG of these two programs
