WSL2 fails to launch Ubuntu and Debian

Open Fareed19 opened this issue 2 months ago • 9 comments

Errors observed:

Catastrophic failure → Error code: Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED

After repeated attempts: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/0x80072746

System Details Windows build: Windows 11 Insider build 26200.6899 (fresh reinstall already performed) WSL version: 2.6.1.0 Kernel version: 6.6.87.2-1 WSLg version: 1.0.66 MSRDC version: 1.2.6353 Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511 DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release Windows version: 10.0.26200.6899 Hardware: Gigabyte Master X motherboard, Intel i7 CPU, 64 GB RAM

WSL status: Default Distribution: Ubuntu-24.04 Default Version: 2

Hyper-V: Enabled

Steps Already Taken

Unregistered the broken distro with wsl --unregister Ubuntu-24.04.

Reinstalled Ubuntu 24.04 → still fails with E_UNEXPECTED.

Tried Debian (wsl --install -d Debian) → same failure.

Reinstalled Windows 11 completely → issue persists.

Ran wsl --status → shows Ubuntu-24.04 as default, version 2.

Checked memory usage: System has 64 GB RAM. VmmemWSL uses only ~300 MB at crash time. Confirms this is not an OOM (out of memory) issue.

Compared with GitHub issues:

#13263 (OOM crash) → ruled out.

downloaded and reinstalled wsl 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 from github→ issue persists

What It’s Not

Not a memory exhaustion issue (plenty of free RAM).

Not limited to Ubuntu (Debian also fails).

Not fixed by reinstalling Windows (problem persists after clean install).

Not a single corrupted distro (fresh installs also fail).

Not due to virtualization being disabled (Hyper-V is enabled).

Not 2.6.1 release problem. 2.6.2 release shows the same behaviors.

Observation: Ubuntu occasionally opens successfully, but after closing it, subsequent launches fail with Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED. During the successful launches, Ubuntu behaves normally. But if I close that session, it won't start again, and multiple tries are needed.

Looks like this is caused by a kernel panic:

Have you ever seen this before @chessturo ?

I'm suddently seeing the same error. However, unlike the one posted previously, it is not an insufficient RAM issue:

From a terminal that I already had open, I could run free -h to check:

free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            15Gi       5.2Gi       9.7Gi        14Mi       716Mi        10Gi
Swap:          4.0Gi          0B       4.0Gi

However, I can't seem to open new terminal instances. Also my Jetbrains IDE is complaining that it cannot start processes and that inotify isn't working anymore for watching files.

(edit) The issue seems to have solved itself after a reboot. I am still very curious to find out why this happens in the first place.

My issue persists. I reinstalled Windows 11 Pro, but I still cannot get Ubuntu or Debian to run. The same error continues, and I seriously doubt this is related to a RAM issue. Occasionally, if I attempt to launch Ubuntu multiple times, it will run without problems. I am curious to know whether this could be a race condition.

@chessturo - is this on your radar?

benhillis avatar Nov 25 '25 22:11 benhillis

@benhillis yeah, once the new kernel is out, assuming this wasn't fixed upstream in the new kernel, this item is next on my list

chessturo avatar Nov 25 '25 22:11 chessturo

Using kali-linux distro

Fixed mine with the following proc

  • powershell with administrative wsl --shutdown wsl --update wsl -d kali-linux

SHIFAT-Arman avatar Dec 22 '25 14:12 SHIFAT-Arman

@SHIFAT-Arman Thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure that kali-linux is the solution, though. I need a linux distribution that allows running engineering software (which themselves need NVIDIA CUDA drivers). Basically i need specifically Ubuntu.
