WSL2: The network was not found

[bartek048]

After multiple experiments with WSL2 VPN network issues (Cisco AnyConnect), I lost "vEthernet (WSL)" adapter in Hyper-V. It happened after reboot. I'm not sure why, because didn't change Hyper-V settings.

When I try to open wsl2, I see:

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0xffffffff
Error: 0xffffffff (null)

Mentioned missing "vEthernet (WSL)" is the problem, so I added it manually as "internal" network. Now I see:

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x803b0001
Error: 0x803b0001 The network was not found.

I tried reenabling WSL/Hyper-V or freshing distro installation, but didn't help.

Uncle Google is out of ideas, so I'm creating this issue.

Try to reinstall windows subsystem for Linux. It worked for me

By (un)checking it in Features list? Already tried that.

I had to temporarily disable dnscrypt-proxy service to unblock port 53
