bostrot commented 1 year ago

Can you add the exact Windows Build version? (e.g. systeminfo -> OS Version)

Also, how did you install it? (downloaded the zip, with package manager, etc.)

ShmuelRonen commented 1 year ago

Yes. I install it via the zip file

bostrot commented 1 year ago

Ok, thanks. Am I getting it right that the blank screen will vanish after some time and you can use it normally?

ShmuelRonen commented 1 year ago

The blank screen has been with me for 10 hours and hasn't disappeared, Every time I open wsl2distromanager.exe. And restart not help

ShmuelRonen commented 1 year ago

ubuntu.exe works fine. but wsl2distromanager is better. I will glad if you have any solution.

bostrot commented 1 year ago

Is your Windows up-to-date? Could you also check whether there is a log file in %appdata%/WSL Distro Manager/or if that directory even exists?

The Windows is up-to-date (10 pro)

@bostrot This is because shared_preferences.json gets corrupted and becomes a binary file. @ShmuelRonen just remove the file and it will launch correctly

Got the same issue, and I could not shutdown the app. I have to open task manager to kill it. I think this should be fixed.
