Convert WSL Instance to version 2 failed with "The remote procedure call failed"

[benzBrake]

This morning I reinstall my laptop with Windows 10 version 19041 to try WSL2.
My operate log:

C:\Users\Administrator>wsl -l -v
  NAME      STATE           VERSION

C:\Users\Administrator>wsl --set-version CentOS 2
Conversion in progress, this may take a few minutes...

Same. Today I upgraded my system to build 20201.1000, but the same problem also happened. And I could not find out an effective solution anywhere.

But I could resolve it via one line of code:
