i found a solution. open powershell as admin and type this command: wsl --set-default-version 1 wait till it's done and open your distro again. if it doesn't work, try opening cmd as admin and paste the same command. that worked for me

i found a solution. open powershell as admin and type this command: wsl --set-default-version 1

After that, can you resume to WSL2?

I think you can't. I haven't tried yet. Try it and let me know if it works.

WSL version 1 works, but the same error when converting to WSL2

wsl --set-version Debian 2
Conversion in progress, this may take a few minutes...
