Thank you @PaxtonPenguin. Looking at the logs, it looks like wslservice.exe is crashing.

Can you follow Enable automatic crash dump collection and share the crash dump for wslservice.exe ?

Thank you @PaxtonPenguin, unfortunately I don't see any dumps in the zip you shared.

After you enabled automatic crash dump collection, was any wslservice.exe available in C:\crashes ?

[PaxtonPenguin]

no, only searchindexer.exe. which isnt wsl at all

i have tried reinstalling wsl, and unregistering Debian multiple times. it also says that Debian is already installed, even though i had just unregistered it.

[PaxtonPenguin]

can you please help me

@PaxtonPenguin: We've made many fixes in the latest release.

Can you try to update with:

wsl --update --pre-release

And see if that solves the issue ?

[PaxtonPenguin]

i got a new computer because the hinge broke so this doesn't apply to me.
