Expected Behavior

Initially unable to locate the WSL path

[Error 2147942402 (0x80070002) occurred while starting 'ubuntu2204.exe']

Now, when I enter "wsl" in the PowerShell terminal, I can access WSL. However, I am unable to open the subsystem through the Ubuntu tab in Windows Terminal.

And earlier, both the display here and when opened through the File Explorer showed Windows Terminal. But now, when I choose "Open Terminal as Administrator," it opens the old version of PowerShell . Why is this happening?

Actual Behavior

After resetting the system, I installed WSL2 and Ubuntu successfully yesterday and was able to use it for a few hours. However, this morning, it suddenly stopped working.

Initially, when I entered "wsl" in the command prompt, it displayed "The system cannot find the specified directory." Then, I attempted to repair Windows Subsystem for Linux by clicking on it in the Control Panel. Now, when I enter "wsl," it directly enters the Ubuntu system. However, the terminal still cannot be accessed directly and continues to display the error message "[Error 2147942402 (0x80070002) occurred while starting 'ubuntu2204.exe']"
