Repro Steps

I've used WSL2 on this PC for one year on this PC and it works perfect for me until yesterday. I installed VMware® Workstation 16 Pro together with Virtual Machine Platform. After reboot sudo apt update get jammed.

An interesting detail is I can ping internet successfully before sudo apt update , but after that "Temporary failure in name resolution" appears when I'm pinging the same website. Try it a few minutes later and it works again.

Editing /etc/resolv.conf and set nameserver to 8.8.8.8 will resolve the issue temporary but I want to dig out the root cause if possible...

btw. I could't access my microsoft account in win10 after VMWare is installed. Disabling VMware network adapter fixed this issue . But it won't help the WSL2 problem.

Expected Behavior

sudo apt update work as usual.

Actual Behavior

Diagnostic Logs

No response
