    I ran into the same issue, presumably after an automatic update.

    I tried various things like running dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and "repairing" the Windows Subsystem for Linux in Add/Remove Programs without success.

    I also tried to update the kernel via wsl --update --web-download and encountered a Catastrophic Failure.

    After reading https://superuser.com/questions/1731365/updating-wsl-2-without-microsoft-store I solved the problem as follows.

    Solution:

    1. Open Event Viewer & find log Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational
    2. My log stated the following:

    AppX Deployment operation failed for package
    MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_2.0.14.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    with error 0x80073D19. The specific error text for this failure is:
    Deployment of package
    MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_2.0.14.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    was blocked because the provided package has the same identity as an
    already-installed package but the contents are different. Increment
    the version number of the package to be installed, or remove the old
    package for every user on the system before installing this package.

    1. I reinstalled the installed version of wsl via cmdline with the command misexec /package wsl.2.0.14.0.x64

    2. wsl worked as usual

    You can download the wsl packages from the wsl github release page https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases
