Question So did anyone ever get Windows 11 and WSL 2 working right ?

I know I'm late to the game but I just spent an entire weekend on it. 2 days, 3 different laptops, 4 different distros, 50 failures. I'm just curious. Not asking for help. I'm over it. <Mod Edit>

What do you mean "working right"?

The handful of times I've used it, it seems more or less to me like any other headless Linux install.

Where in the process does it break down for you?

Error code 0x80004005 is a common error that can occur when accessing shared folders or drives, when using certain programs, or when having problems installing Windows updates.
Can occur? Every * time! Thanks for the novice badge. I been coming here since windows 3.11 and nt 3.51.

Have you tried the fix described in this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ndows-10/1a46ee52-741e-4726-bcb5-f0c10af372d3 ? You can also try what's in https://www.easeus.com/resource/error-code-0x80004005.html

Basically there's a problem with either data corruption, permissions, or both.
