WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80041001

[shadowrayTV]

Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1645]

WSL Version

• WSL 1
• WSL 2

Kernel Version

5.10.102.1

Distro Version

Was using Ubuntu for Windows, current issue happens on all distros

Other Software

WSL Update is showing the DISK1 error, tried running wsl_update_x64.msi again, said i already have a newer version running.

possible failure due interaction with / effects of RyzenAdj/RyzenController? i'm unsure about this, as the error persisted when i uninstalled RyzenController, but started happening around the time i first installed it.

Repro Steps

open any distro through it's windows app / open using command prompt or pwershell / open any app that relies on WSL functionality (eg. VS code)

Expected Behavior

WSL and distro launch like normal

Actual Behavior

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80041001
Error: 0x80041001 (null)

i'm pretty sure ryzenadj has something to with it
or the fact that Riot Games' Vanguard Anti-Cheat has kernel access and keeps trying to block inpoutx64.sys everytime ryzenadj launches

Core Isolation / Memory Integrity are off by the way, due to 2 incompatible drivers:

1. LGVirHid.sys by Logitech
2. xhunter1.sys, which is an anti-cheat of some sort

I don't see any traces in the feedback. Can you record them manually?

Sorry about that. Script is new and might need some ironing out. Can you have another go at it? Thanks.

Not sure if this helps but I had the same hex error as you and what ended up fixing it was going through these steps to uninstall I think a failed(?) update in progress to wsl then it just started working again. I also uninstalled and reinstalled wsl before trying this but that didn't seem to make any difference.

[shadowrayTV]

thank you. this worked. all my old files are gone but i don't think i lost anything important
