Latest version WSL error

I installed the latest version on a new computer and I’m getting an error that WSL can’t connect.

Does anyone have any clear instructions?

Could you follow the steps here?

The new update 0.22.0 improved the stability of WSL. Does your issue still persist?

I’m having this problem recently.

It’s saying “disconnected from WSL Ubuntu” too.
I tried rebooting but it didn’t work.
Also, I tried running the command and I’ve got the output below and the error persisted.

Vscode is opening WSL without any problem, so it seems to be a cursor bug.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks.

Still unavailable to use, moving to vscode for now.

Can anyone help me out here, pls?

Thanks.
