Windows 10 build 1803 ArchWSL can not start

[mudriion]

Hi After latest Windows April update ArchWSL stop working,
Even after complete reinstall still refuses to start with below error message.

Performing one-time upgrade of the Windows Subsystem for Linux file system for this distribution...
Error: 0x80070005
Press any key to continue...

Does other Linux distributions works correctly?
Please try official distribution of Store(ex.Ubuntu).
If the same error occurs, it may be a problem of WSL.

I just tried Kali Linux and it works without problem

Tried again with latest version of Arch and same error as in the 1st post

I have the exact same issue.
The MS Store Ubuntu instance launches without an issue.
Ubuntu performed a one-time update - perhaps the new Linux/NTFS permission features were implemented in that step?

[rom4s]

Hmm.. launches with admin rights.

[thewikt]

That solves the issue - Arch.exe did the same one-time update in an elevated shell. Thanks!

[mudriion]

running as admin didn't help getting same diff error

Error: 0x80070040
Press any key to continue...

In addition if I am running bash.exe directly from cmd or powershell seems is failing with the same error as above.

But if running link to Ubuntu from Start Menu "Bash on Ubuntu on WIndows"
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe {12345678-1234-5678-0123-456789abcdef} ~
Works and start Ubuntu successfully.

Quick Update

After running "Arch.exe clean" bash start working again

Now try to rerun Arch.exe from clean slate and is failing with below error
Installing...
ERROR:Installation Failed!
HRESULT:0x80070005
Press any key to continue...

After running Arch.exe as Admin seems it is installed and can be run .
and wslconfig shows > wslconfig /l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Legacy (Default)
Arch

I installed ArchWSL with clean install on 1803,
but It works correctly...

Could you try wslconfig /u Arch to uninstall and re-install it?

[mudriion]

Now I am getting diff error after reboot :(
Even Arch was installed not sure why is trying to install again ?

Installing...
ERROR:Installation Failed!
HRESULT:0x800703fa
Press any key to continue...

[yuk7]

That error(0x800703fa) probably due from these.
microsoft/WSL#2768
microsoft/WSL#3134
When this error is issued, probably all WSL functions should not be usable.

I saw the error several times, but it was resolved after restarted...

As for myself, I am getting the following error on build 1803:
HRESULT:0x800700b7
Is it a separate issue ?

[yuk7]

@nSimonFR
Yes,probably that issue is not the same as this.

[yuk7]

I can not reproduce this bug.
ArchWSL works right on my computer(Windows 1803).

please re-open issue and give me more detailed infomations.

Just move the Arch files and folder to HOME PATH, e.g: C:\Users\myuser\arch\arch.exe

Got this error today, using Win10 1803 with everything working including Ubuntu WSL:
Error: 0x80070040
Press any key to continue...

Path: C:\arch\arch.exe

Right click on appx file,
certutil -addstore "Root", go to second tab (Digital Signatures), double click on the certificate, export it to a file e.g. cert.der.
Now certutil -addstore "Root" cert.der.
If Certificate "yuk7" added to store., then try installing app.
