The downloaded image will install the WSL 1 version (that is what happened to me). But if you want wsl2 you can run wsl --set-version Ubuntu-18.04 2 for example

Opened an issue for it here: github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/563 | |

Note: the 0x80070005 errors pops for a lot of reasons. If you want to look for workarounds, look here: github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/3020

Top instructions. Thanks. FYI: If you are like me, and unzipped the distro in a silly location the first time... You will find wslconfig /list and wslconfig /unregister are your friends...

@AndrewSavinykh Since it is installed into whatever Path you like (e.g. C:), providing access (and links) for all users should not be a problem. However, I do not know how to create links for multiple users. Something along New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "<USER_DIR>" -Name "<DISTRO>" -Value "<DISTRO_EXE_PATH>" should work.

If you're getting the error 0x80070005, you need to run the exe file as administrator.
