All wsl commands exept wsl --version hang. Trying to open Ubuntu from anywhere (Start menu, PowerShell, etc) hang with a black screen.
No error message in the System Event Viewer

If I manually start LxssManager, nothing changes. I also tried killing all wsl* tasks and services

Hi, have the same identical issue: any wsl command hangs. Did you have any luck finding a solution?

[bin-emanuele]

UPDATE: After some deep googling I've found the following command to restart WSL, that fixes the problem (for the moment at least)
tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe" | findstr LxssManager

I found the issue. No clue how it is related, but it fixed the problem.
I had a network-mounted file system failing due to no connection. I was not usinging it or referencing it in any form from my WSL, but it was making it hanging (even for an hour).

In my case it was about CFG feature on my windows installation

Followed this solution from question on superuser

and finally wsl returned back to work
