I have already tested almost all the solution suggested in similar kind of problem.
Even installing a new distribution doesn't work.

similar problem

Complementary Feedback : I have removed everything, unregister all instance, uninstall WSL, uninstall Docker Desktop, reinstall WSL. Command wsl -l works fine until I am adding a first distribution.
The installation remains on "Installing, this may take a few minutes".
And then, once again, everything hang...

I have the same issue after the KB5007215 update. Typing e.g. wsl takes ~5-10 minutes to complete and shows an error that the Server failed to start. When uninstalling the mentioned update, wsl works again.

I submitted the logs via Feedback Hub before uninstalling the KB5007215 update. Unfortunately it did not show a link that I can provide you with. However, I published it around 25 minutes ago and included the github issue in the description, so you may find it?

didn't see this thread before raising this 🤦 similar but bit different.

I uninstalled the mentioned update. After this, wsl started again. Windows automatically installed the KB update some time later and wsl still starts after reboot. So uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue for me.

Did someone try this as well and did it fix the issue?

remove update ,
and restart,
it's work!

[Stanzilla]

Had this as well, also my Ubuntu user dir was gone. A restart (without reverting the update) fixed it here.

By the way, can someone tell me how can I uninstall a update. For me Windows 11 Insider Preview 22504.1000 (rs_prerelease) broke the WSL
