Same behavior seen here starting April 13th, with CentOS 7.9

Windows 10 version: 22H2 (build 19045.2728)
WSL version: 1.2.0.0
CentOS 7.9 WSL file downloaded from https://github.com/mishamosher/CentOS-WSL/releases/download/7.9-2111/CentOS7.zip

Same behaviour for me, starting April 13th - systemd stopped working in existing CentOS distros.

WSL version: 1.2.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.90.1
WSLg version: 1.0.51
MSRDC version: 1.2.3770
Direct3D version: 1.608.2-61064218
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.22621.1555

Error: Failed to get D-Bus connection: No such file or directory

These are daily-use dev environments and systemd had been working fine.

Rolling back to 1.16.0 has restored systemd for me - see #9914

I also encountered the same problem. I downloaded version 1.1.3 from the release area and reinstalled it to solve the problem. Starting from version 1.1.5, the native Docker installed in my WSL2 CentOS had problems. I had to change a lot of configurations to barely solve it. Later, when I upgraded to version 1.2.2, even the systemctl command could not be used directly.

WSL 版本： 1.1.3.0
内核版本： 5.15.90.1
WSLg 版本： 1.0.49
MSRDC 版本： 1.2.3770
Direct3D 版本： 1.608.2-61064218
DXCore 版本： 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows版本： 10.0.22621.1555

把版本降回1.1.3，就在release去找下载链接。我目前是这样解决的
但是系统自动升级又会把版本给我自动升上去我还没去看咋个关，反正发现升级了我就又降回来就好了

back to v1.1.3 , perfect resolved.

Updating to 1.2.3.0 resolves this issue.

My WSL is installed from the Windows Store and looks like it is the latest :( Must be some delay hitting the store...

PS C:\Windows\system32> wsl --update
Checking for updates.
The most recent version of Windows Subsystem for Linux is already installed.
PS C:\Windows\system32> wsl --version
WSL version: 1.2.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.90.1
WSLg version: 1.0.51

DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp

PS C:\Windows\system32>

Also... why are all the versions after 1.1.3 marked as pre-release? https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases

I expect to be getting a stable release from the store?
