So, I’ve been using the new(ish) Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (WSL) for a while now and all has been top-notch, until yesterday.

I git-pushed from Bash by accident, so it asked me for my repo-destination account details like normal. I decided to ignore this, terminate Bash and try to just use powershell instead (can’t ever remember passwords!). Terminating Bash however caused the shell to freeze. I forced closed and restarted my comp (I’ve had to force close and restart several times before for various reasons and everything was fine).

After boot up, I just tried to check if Bash was working again, but it wasn’t. It just failed to start with no error message. For example:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> bash
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Has anyone else had a similar situation/knows how to help?

EDIT: Only solved through reinstalling bash, using

    lxrun /uninstall /full

then

    lxrun /install

Do a FULL REBOOT. That worked for me. Windows 10 fast boots system to save memory. TO do a Full Reboot Hold Shift and Click on Restart/Shutdown.

I’ve had similar issues. The solution for me was to disable fast startup in powers settings.

I had the same issue the following fix worked for me:

Fix:

1. restart by clicking shift + restart button.
2. it will load recovery options, just click on continue to windows.
3. once pc starts open the terminal by start search for ubuntu click enter
4. once terminal gets open it might show cursor blinking and does nothing.
5. just press cntrl+c or cntrl+z and you will have problem solved.

Right after Windows Updates KBB4471324 and a reboot, Bash wouldn’t launch. No messages.

In event viewer I saw messages about

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

I didn’t bother trying to figure out if the SID, CLSID and APPID were associated with bash.

I launched Bash as administrator, which worked, and then bash as a normal user, which worked.
It seems to be fine, now.

Section i: other error messages.

• This error is closely followed by a second error, code 0x80070057 (see section 2)!

• This error also manifests as «Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions. Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store: https://aka.ms/wslstore» by typing Bash at cmd/powershell. Use Section 1 then Section 2.

Section ii: verify your installation and restart.

Be sure that WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) is checked/installed and your computer had a proper restart: {⊞START} → type «features» (ensure «Turn Windows features on or off» is selected). → {ENTER}. → Turn Windows Subsystem for Linux on. → Press OK. → Restart your computer immediately after the installation has finished.

Section 1a: Install Linux [via the Microsoft Store].

1. Press {⊞START} on your keyboard.
2. Type «store» ensure «Microsoft Store» is selected. → {ENTER}}.
3. {SHIFT}-{TAB} twice (highlight search). → {ENTER}.
4. type «subsystem«. → {ENTER}.
5. Select your flavor of Linux (i.e., «Ubuntu LTS 18.04») and click «Install».
6. {⊞START}. -> Type «ubuntu» (ensure Ubuntu App is selected). → {ENTER}.

Section 1b: Side-load Linux.

*This is a placeholder—you can manually install WLS—https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual. I have not done this, yet. If you have done this, please add instructions by editing my answer; otherwise, I will post this section after performing this operation myself.

Section 2: if launching Ubuntu throws ‘WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070057’**

After installing a linux flavor:

1. {⊞START} → type «features» (ensure «Turn Windows features on or off» is selected). → {ENTER}.
2. Turn Windows Subsystem for Linux off. → Press OK.
3. Turn Windows Subsystem for Linux on.
4. Restart your computer.
5. {⊞START}. → type «ubuntu» (ensure «Ubuntu App» is selected). → {ENTER}

What worked for me was to disable and enable WSL feature from control panel:

1. Control Panel —> Programs and Features —> Turn Windows Feature on or off
2. Uncheck «Windows Subsystem for Linux»
3. Uninstall Ubuntu from Windows
4. Restart
5. In (1), check «Windows Subsystem for Linux»
6. Install Ubuntu
7. Success!

If none of the previuos answers worked for you, try this workaround, after trying different alternatives, this one worked for me.

1. Run windows + R
2. type SystemPropertiesAdvanced
3. click settings in performance group
4. In advanced tab, deselect the automatically manage paging file size for all drives
5. Select custom size and enter 800 for initial size, 1024 for maximum size.
6. Apply changes and restart.

try

wsl --list --verbose

to see a list of all installed distributions and their names
assume you have a result that looks like this

  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu-22.04           Running         2
  docker-desktop         Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Running         2

start the Ubuntu distribution, you can run

wsl --distribution Ubuntu-22.04 --verbose

If you want to make sure that the Ubuntu distribution starts automatically when you launch the WSL subsystem

wsl --set-default Ubuntu-22.04
