Repro Steps

Updrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I tried to start my WSL terminal, however, the terminal closed immediately. Since WSL was not working I uninstalled Ubuntu and WSL and now it seems to be stuck in a "shutdown" loop.

I have tried the following from the windows features and restarted multiple times:

• disabling Windows Hypervisor Platform
• disabling Windows Subsystem for Linux

Expected Behavior

When starting the terminal window, I would expect the WSL to open the Ubuntu I have installed and enabled the required windows features. When typing in wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04 I would expect the installation to go through.

Actual Behavior

The wsl command works in cmd.exe however, if Hypervisor & Subsystem for Linux are disabled, it will only print out the --help menu no matter the command. With Hypervisor & Subsystem for Linux enabled, the wsl.exe reacts to commands. When I try to install a new distribution or update the WSL through wsl.exe or the Microsoft Store, I get the following error code:

0x8007045b

Which is the error code for "shutdown in progress". However, when I type shutdown /a into cmd.exe ,it says Unable to abort the system shutdown because no shutdown was in progress. (1116). This leads me to believe that the WSL system is failing and constantly shutting down after the upgrade to windows 11.
