Get a Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureNetworking/HNS/0xffffffff when restart the WSL after shutdown

[PinKevin]

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2965]

WSL Version

2.1.5.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.15.146.1-2

Distro Version

Ubuntu

Other Software

Visual Studio Code version 1.88.1 with Remote - SSH extension version v0.110.1

Repro Steps

I just want to connect to WSL via Visual Studio Code using the Remote-SSH extension, but it gives me error that looks like this: (the message is VS Code Server for WSL closed unexpectedly. Check WSL terminal for more details).

Then, I tried to reboot the WSL with wsl --shutdown and wsl. The first command was succeeded, but the second one got the error like the title (Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureNetworking/HNS/0xffffffff). I tried to set it using .wslconfig that I made first (because there is no such file in my directory), but it keeps giving me error.

Expected Behavior

I can connect to the WSL in VS Code

Actual Behavior

It gives me error:
Failed to configure network (networkingMode Nat). To disable networking, set wsl2.networkingMode=None in C:\Users\user.wslconfig
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureNetworking/HNS/0xffffffff
