Thanks for filing, unfortunately the logs you shared are not during the time when this error occured. Could you please re-collect logs, reproduce the issue, then end log collection?

Thanks.

This is very strange, I see in the log attempting to bind an AF_VSOCK socket is returning ENOSYS. Are you using a private kernel by chance? It might be helpful to take another trace of a full boot, so if you could do the following it would be very helpful. Thanks!

  1. wsl.exe --shutdown
  2. start trace
  3. repro issue
  4. stop trace

Are you installing the kali from the store? I'm not able to reproduce this...

The Kali installer comes from the Microsoft Store. Also it worked before this error as I'm just reinstalling everything.

I just extracted Kali.exe and install.tar.gz from this file "DistroLauncher-Appx_1.13.1.0_x64.appx" found in "kali-linux.appx" which I've downloaded from MS Store.

I can't repro anymore. It works now. I have no idea what happened.
