    Hi Arturo Rabino (@PhilMinecraft) . This looks like the same issue fixed here: #41744.
    Please consider update to the pre-release version with wsl --update --pre-release to see if that resolves the issue.

    I've fixed my own issue by bringing back the Ubuntu app I installed from ms store from D:/ to C:/ via settings, I can use it again. Thank you for the response!
