Repro Steps

I had to change my AD domain recently and wsl was not available after that.
I then did a wsl --install followed by wsl --update to 2.0.14.0.
I think my previous version was 2.0.9.0.
And got the error below when I tried to launch wsl

The distribution failed to start because its virtual disk is corrupted.
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/WSL_E_DISK_CORRUPTED

Expected Behavior

Ideally, I can restart my WSL. Or at least be able to retrieve my files in WSL filesystem.

Actual Behavior

After AD domain change, am getting the below after wsl --install and wsl --update

The distribution failed to start because its virtual disk is corrupted.
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/WSL_E_DISK_CORRUPTED

Sorry it was an urgent case and my administrator had uninstall WSL via Settings\Apps & Features. WSL can be started now.
But I had to recreate a new user inside the new WSL but have lost all my previous files.
