Same problem

After the KB4571756 windows update I also got this error. I deleted the docker folders in AppData, then uninstalled and reinstalled docker but it didn't fix. It finally worked when I uninstalled the latest windows quality updates. (docker is associated with wsl in this case.)
Caution: If you're not sure what you're doing, check out the tutorials on the web!
This is not a real solution but you can keep working at least until Microsoft fixes the problem.

Removing the KB4571756 Windows update has fixed the problem for me as well

Me too. I have had to remove the KB4571756 update. I'll wait a few days for try to update again.

I can confirm that the workaround of EgoistDeveloper (uninstalling the KB4571756 update) solved the problem for me too.

Hmm.. I'm with "2004" e.g. "10.0.19041.508" and both wsl2 (kali-linux) and docker (through wsl2) work fine. Maybe my update got updated (Just did an update)

With KB4571756 update (19042.508), was getting this error:
After uninstalling KB4571756 and reverting to 19042.487, WSL2 starts again.

Might be. But, at the same time, what's de point of keeping the issue open if all that is left is for the KB4577063 patch to run its curse?
coxchris859 commentedon Oct 2, 2020
They have release a standalone KB patch that isn't apart of the 20H2 feature update

LOL guys, the bug was on the insider builds anyway. If you are not an insider you don't have it, plain and simple.
malkia commentedon Oct 6, 2020
I've found certain apps not to be working with this one (and had to revert it). One of them is AppVerif - the command-line still works, but the UI needs "EdgeGDI.dll" which is not present (seems to be loaded by newer gdi32.dll, but not so sure). Searching for "EdgeGDI" reveals other apps that maybe missing it. It might not affect you, or what you do daily, but it affected me, and had to revert.

Юрий Зубарев (@Mystic8b) Totally unrelated question, but can you share your Windows Terminal profiles.json 😅
Mystic8b commentedon Oct 16, 2020

Oh yeah, and icons

Error: 0x80070490 Element not found.
wsl2 version is installed and i don't have the insider package. wsl1 works just fine for kali. When i update and set version 2 as default error message happens. I figured out after downloading the kali package from windows app store, rootsf files are missing in app data/local/packages/kali/local state. When I checked on wsl version1 folder is available.
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_1.6.0.0_x64__ey8k8hqnwqnmg has the data file install.tar.gz {276 MB } as gz file format which is not recognized by the windows. I don't know if any of this information helps to figure out the bug but I'm stuck on a loop between wsl1 with no gui interface or not working wsl2

I've been unable to launch wsl2 recently - "element not found" every time. I've tried restarting lxssmanager and rebooting. I don't have KB4571756 in my list of updates, but I believe this started after some recent patch, possibly KB5007253 or KB5007289 which were both installed last week. Tried to install KB4577063 but the OS told me it was not installable. I'm unable to access the filesystem at \wsl$\ubuntu . Any workarounds for getting wsl2 to launch again?
Also posted to #3785 as it seems to describe the same problem.
ajkessel commentedon Dec 15, 2021
Update: the resolution described here fixed this problem for me. Specifically, downloading and running the https://aka.ms/easyfix20159 easy fix, followed by a reboot. Hopefully this will help others.

This issue seems to have surfaced again. None of the solutions in this thread are relevant. Any suggestions? So far I have tried:
bui commentedon Feb 11, 2022
I've started getting this error today after installing KB5010386. Anyone else?
Edit: Running the above-linked easyfix and rebooting fixed the issue for me.
