Thanks for reporting - I see the error in the logs where we are failing to create the process, but not much of a clue as to why. Could you please take a look at the wslrelay.exe and wslhost.exe processes located in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_1.2.0.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe and see if anything these looks strange?

[JohenanLi]

I cannot open the path C:\Program Files\WindowsApps ,because i haven't access to this dir.So i change the owner to everyone.

This is my scrrenshot of the properties.

I was having the same issue while I was tending to install WSL. But deleting any traces of subsystem and did wsl --install -d ubuntu with installing Ubuntu then updated WSL from https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel. And that worked for me. However, I still don't have any concrete idea of why this error is happening...

Also, there is the same issue opened in the same context you guys can follow #9678.
