Docker – WSL Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG

After PC restart the WSL fails to start. Any wsl command like wsl –list gives
Class not registered Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG

I’ve tried updating the wsl by .msi installer but it cannot finish the installation because of The service could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services. And so I’ve tried to update the policies with gpedit.msc but no success with this. I feel like I’m stuck and only full windows reinstall could help. I’ve also tried uninstalling the wsl and reinstalling but with no success as well.

What’s also weird is that the application size in the windows settings is 0kb Windows settings image

    To fix "Class not registered" error, only repair WSL on

     "Settings > Applications > Instaled Applications > Windows Subsystem for Linux > Advanced Options > Repair".

    After do that, WSL command should return to work.

    Can you start the WSLService ? It’s possible that the msi is not able to update the service if it’s corrupt…

    I had to reinstall everything to make it work.
    Hope this help…
