Fedora Remix for WSL is currently not available in your account....

[irvintim]

When I try to start a Fedora Remix session I get the following error: "Fedora Remix for WSL is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001" This is new as of today, I have been running this for months now with no other issues.

I confirmed I am logged in to the Microsoft Store. Microsoft Store shows that this application is installed on this computer. I have rebooted the computer. My WSL Ubuntu image starts up fine.

Hello @irvintim,

I have checked on google about this error code and it says that it can be a corruption in the Microsoft Store cache.

You can try to deinstall the application and install it again.

You can make a backup of the current installation and restore it. I can give you instructions if you want to go this way.

Regards, Carlos

I would like to back up the current installation first, so if you have those instructions I'd appreciate it,

To make a backup open a command prompt: cmd.exe

wsl.exe --export fedoraremix fedoraremix.tar

Then to restore it:

wsl.exe --unregister fedoraremix
wsl.exe --import fedoraremix %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WhitewaterFoundryLtd.Co.FedoraRemixforWSL_kd1vv0z0vy70w\LocalState\rootfs fedoraremix.tar

List your default user and restore it:

wsl.exe -d fedoraremix ls /home

user

fedoraremix.exe config --default-user user

In my case I had logged in to another Microsoft/Live account and this was causing this error.
