Error: wsl.exe exited with code 4294967295

See original GitHub issue

I’m running into the same error.

Error: wsl.exe exited with code 4294967295

I made sure to change my default version in wsl to 2. And my windows version is 21H1 Build 19043.

This is the log running the exe directly.

@borcherspm I’ve created a new issue for your problem, as it seems to be unrelated to the WSL version.
