WSL2 stopped working suddenly. If I do a new installation of linux distros. Then it throws the following error, when I click launch button for the linux distro from play store:
Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070003
Error: 0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.
the wsl --help command works properly. All other wsl command hangs or throws error as shown below
like wsl -l command throws this error
The system cannot find the path specified.
I had the same thing happening to me after I moved the directory of my distro.
You have to unregister the distro from WSL;
wslconfig /u Ubuntu-20.04
and then just execute the installed exe and install the whole distro to WSL again.
I had to reinstall the windows to fix the issue. Something got corrupted in the OS. However, before reinstalling the OS as I had lot of work stored in the WSL2, I took the backup of the entire WSL2 image, the big .vhdx file. This file is the Virtual Hard Disk of WSL2 Linux. The files inside cannot be directly explored from Windows at the moment.
If one has not moved the file anywhere else, it is stored here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\<PackageFamilyName>\LocalState\ext4.vhdx
Before reinstalling the OS, after taking the backup, I wanted to test if this backup runs fine on new install of WSL2. For that, I tested it on another machine, by installing the same Ubuntu WSL2 distro and replacing the .vhdx file created with the backup file. It ran fine.
So, it felt safe to do entire OS reinstall and then reinstalling WSL2 Ubuntu and finally replacing the .vhdx file with the old backup .vhdx file. So, I did loose some time. But, my data and all the applications/programs on WSL2 were intact.
I know this is old but I had the same problem after deleting a driver associated with Hyper V and fixed it by uninstalling the virtual machine platform and Windows Hypervisor along with WSL, rebooted, reinstalled all 3 and then I could install Ubuntu again
This is my first answer on stack overflow and English is not my first language.
So, I will answer this question in images. My solution would not delete the date in any existing installed Linux distribution, at least for me.
Hope you can solve this problem successfully.

I need help installing GDAL 3.1.0 on my Windows 10 computer. I was pointed to download from here, http://download.gisinternals.com/sdk/downloads/release-1911-x64-gdal-mapserver.zip . I have unzipped and run sdkshell.bat and it takes me to a cmd window, my question is what comes next and how do I install it?
In case you still need it and haven't found the answer. sdkshell.bat create environment variable for gdal, so make sure you extract it in the folder you want it to be installed. After you run it, you can use gdal on cmd or powershell.
I'm using a BAT file to execute the following command to install my INF file to another computer:
devcon dp_add "linux-cdc-acm.inf"
It works fine with Win7 x64 but it fails in Win8 x64. The error message is:
Adding the specified driver package to machine failed. devcon failed.
I assume the INF file is correct as I can install it manually via the DeviceManager and there is no new entry on [%windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log]. Is there another way to install INF files to the driver store for Win8?
And another thing, is using devcon really the normal and correct way in installing INF files to client computers?
EDIT:
I got the devcon source from WDK, debugged it and found that I am getting a [ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED]. Is this failing because of the settings in Win8? What are ways to overcome this?
It seems the batch file or devcon just needed to be "run as administrator" in win8.
and test signing the catalog file for the INF file was also needed.
Alternatively for future reference, I was able to use WiX and DIFxApp to create a .msi installer that installs linux-cdc-acm.inf and linux.inf (RNDIS) gadget drivers. https://github.com/ambrice/linux-gadget
Haven't been able to figure out how to create a 32 bit version from my 64 bit dev box yet, even though there's no binaries..
Suddenly, i lost all Geny motion emulators (maybe after upgrading to Geny motion 2.2, not sure) and when ever i download a new virtual machine or emulator i get the "failed to import OVA" error and i can't use the virtual machines i downloaded at all in Geny motion, however they work in virtual box!
and i have cleared the cache and deleted old OVAs and re-downloaded other emulators again and again, but it's no use!
any clue what's going on?
is there a way to re-import emulators i already downloaded by Geny motion to Geny motion again instead of keeping downloading new emulators and getting the same error?
I solved the problem for myself. In my case, I had the same problem after defragmenting my computer. Deleting the ova and deploying files did not work (neither did reinstalling help). Solved it by clearing the cache in the app itself:
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to see if that helps. If it doesn't then I can't help.
So I upgraded to the latest version of Genymotion 2.6.0. Tried to install the new Virtual Devices and I got the same error.
I tried to clear the cache as suggested above but it didn't help instead it removed the downloaded .ova file of the device and I had to download again.
I checked for update on VirtualBox and it shows that you're on the latest build. I checked the version and it showed 4.2.x.
Checked the latest version on the site and damn... It was version 5.0 available on the website.
Upgraded the VirtualBox to the latest 5.0 and here you go... Everything was back in place and my Genymotion Virtual Device was imported and is running fine.
So do check the versions of VirtualBox and see if it is the latest available on the website.
Deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file, deleting the corrupted deployed image, redownloading the image, and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me.
Note that the deployed images are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed
the cached ova files are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova
this link : Unable to create Genymotion Virtual Device
Update :
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to upgrade VirtualBox to the latest release, this solved the problem for me.
UPDATE
Some VirtualBox version are not compatibles with genymotion: review FAQ Genymotions in https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#compatible-virtualbox-versions
If you see the log file of Genimotions you'll find this:
VBoxManage.exe: error: 'Linux_64' is not a valid Guest OS type
The problem is the version of Virtual Box, I thought I had the last version (4.2) because virtual box said me that it was the lastest version, but it wasn't true: The last version actually is 5.0.20
I've installed the last version (5.0.20), and ova is ok
If you're using Windows:
The folder left after uninstallation is located at:
C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\
Before proceeding, in the OVA folder, save the ova files in there if you do not want to redownload the images all over again.
Clear the Genymotion cache, and then uninstall Genymotion (and Oracle VBOX if needed)
Remove the whole Genymotion folder in the above path
Reinstall genymotion and VirtualBox
Copy back the ova files into the ova folder.
Re-add the virtual device accordingly (the ova files name should be identifiable easily enough)
Genymotion will then verify the integrity of the stuffs and should now works fine.
I just Run Genymotion with Administrator right (run as Administrator)! It work perfect!
I had the same issue and also tried deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file and old images but to no avail.
To get my Genymotion working again in my environment I completely uninstalled VirtualBox and Genymotion using the TrashMe app to ensure no trace was left on my system. You can achieve the same result with the free app App Cleaner.
I then completely deleted the ~/.Genymobile directory as this seems to get left behind when deleting/uninstalling Genymotion. I think this is the only thing I did differently this time.
I then re-downloaded the latest versions of VirtualBox and Genymotion and installed them in that order. (Versions at time of writing: VB - 4.3.13 r93733 / GM - 2.2.2)
I then launched Genymotion, connected to my account, added a new device and I am now back up and running.
Hopefully that helps..
I encountered this error when my hard drive was almost full. It looked like it had enough space for the emulator, but Genymotion still failed with failed to import eva
Solved by freeing up a couple Gigs on disk.
Updating VirtualBox to the latest version, Worked for me
I deleted all the virtual devices and cleared Cache. After that I added the device again. Worked for me.
I had the same problem, I fixed it with uninstalling, reinstalling and running Gennymotion with Admin rights. Make sure you not upgrade Oracle VM and use the one you installed with Genymotion. Also at installing Genymotion make sure you reinstall VM too. It should work, I lost my devices too and this method only solve the OVA problem. If you run the virtual device and get an error, reboot computer, if you didn't do after installing Oracle VM. Hope it helped.
it turns for me I restored the system from the backup
Click geny settings->virtualbox tab, have to correct the folder to keep the VM
I had deleted /Users//.Genymobile/ directory and Genimotion started work fine
make sure you choose the correct android sdk
in Linux
just delete
home/user/.config/Genymobile/Genymotion.conf
and it's work
I downloaded ova that match with version i want (example android 5)

then add ova file to genymotion

I have a problem using devcon.exe in Windows 7 for the purpose of removing drivers, it worked fine in Windows XP. However, I can't remove the drivers using "dp_delete" and "Remove" in Windows 7.
Anyone has an idea why it might happen?
Thanks.
Download the “Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0″ from MS, it is an ISO image several hundreds meg
Using UniversalExtractor (http://legroom.net/software/uniextract), extract the ISO to a temporary directory.
Again using UniversalExtractor, extract the install file "WDK\setuptools_x64fre.msi" to a temporary directory.
In that temporary directory you will find "WinDDK\7600.16385.win7_wdk.100208-1538\tools\devcon\amd64\devcon.exe". This devcon works fine under W7x64 Pro.
Along the way UniversalExtractor will prompt you with some warnings, just click OK.
(source)
Just an idea for another one that have the same issue and can migrate it: you can use wmic instead devcon. Its work better and it's Query Oriented Language (WMI)
