Steps to reproduce

Run the wsl command

When attempting to run using Windows Terminal there's an error code as well:

WSL logs:

Expected behavior

WSL will start the Ubuntu 20 LTS distribution successfully.

Actual behavior

An error prevents WSL from starting correctly.
I have Docker installed which also does not start up correctly.

Uninstall Docker and do a re-install of VMM feature. See if WSL2 works afterwards. Then re-install Docker, be sure to NOT choose the WSL2 backend. If this works, then try using the WSL2 backend. If this fails, file logs for both Docker and WSL. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting

Re-installing WSL 2 worked, thanks!

In electronic devices restarting things usually solves the unexpected bugs.
This solved for me after trying many things:
Windows Features on & off -> Disable Windows Subsystem for Linux -> Reboot -> Re-Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
