Doesn't happen with Ubuntu.

BlueScreenView shows an ntoskrnl memory address.

Running Fedora after booting from the black screen gives error:

Unpacking Fedora Remix for WSL, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x8000000d
Error: 0x8000000d An illegal state change was requested.

Press any key to continue...

Removing and reinstalling crashes in the same place every time.

Hello @mrbetta ,

Something is happening in WSL1 with Windows 11. It has been reported here microsoft/WSL#7480

Thanks for reporting this gives more detail.

I saw this error in dnf with an already installed distro.

I'll push for this to be resolved soon.

Do you have any way to install using WSL2 and the switch?

Regards,
Carlos

Okay, thanks. Sounds like you're on it.

I could probably use WSL2, but 1 does everything I need and kind of prefer it. I can just wait until it's fixed.

I'm happy to provide any more info to help narrow it down.
