Arch won't start under Win11 22H2

GaryScottMartin commented 1 year ago

Trying to open Arch shell from Windows terminal produces the following:

The system cannot find the path specified.

[process exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff)]

Uninstalling and reinstalling WSL2 allowed install of both Ubuntu and Debian. Launching the freshly reinstalled Arch app from the Windows Search Bar opens a momentary window which closes before it displays even the window trim. Running Arch from an Admin Powershell window produces the following:

PS C:\Users\gmart> arch
The system cannot find the path specified.
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND

Checking WSL Status:

PS C:\Users\gmart> wsl --status

I had the same issue but restarting Windows solved it. It required a second restart after the update.
