Try running services.msc
and sort services by type (Automatic, Manual, Disabled)
Edit: Press (Windows+S) to open the Windows Search, then type services.msc
and click on "Run as Administator" UAC. A long list of services should show up. Click the text above service type (manual,automatic,disabled) to sort services. Finally, set manual services related to WSL from 'Manual' to 'Automatic'.
Edit: Run services.msc
as admin.
WOW
I didn't find LxssManager in the code.
Documentation: winutil/docs/dev/tweaks/Essential-Tweaks/Services.md
After applying the "Set Services to Manual" tweak, none of my software that relies on WSL2 like Docker Desktop is running, and I'm unable to start the WSL service at all. I've removed the features using DISM, rebooted, uninstalled everything, reinstalled again, all the reboots inbetween, but the service still refuses to start.
I have uninstalled Ubuntu and the other distros I had installed, reinstalled them from the Windows store, and still the service refuses to start.
I ran the "Undo selected tweaks" option in the hope of reversing the effects of the "Set Services to Manual" tweak, however the issue persists. I am still prevented from setting the startup of the LxssManager service to Automatic (get an "access denied") error.
If anyone can offer any assistance beyond "reinstall Windows" that would be big help.
