When trying to launch any wsl distro it gives the below message WSL (13) ERROR: CreateProcessCommon:559: execvpe(/bin/bash) failed: Permission denied

wsl -u root works fine.

It seems that it can not navigate to /mnt/c folder

I installed a new distro OracleLinux_8_7 and it worked fine. So it seems that something specific to older distros

wsl --list --verbose NAME STATE VERSION

Also I can login using root

wsl -d OracleLinux_7_9 -u root

but I can not do anything like becoming another user etc.

It looks like the permissions on your distro might be messed up. Could you share the output of stat /bin/bash and cat /etc/passwd and the contents of /etc/wsl.conf if present?
