Repro Steps

steps taken until I got the error, in a fresh OS installation

• Activate systemd
  sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
  [boot] systemd=true

wsl.exe –shutdown

• Install webmin
  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list → deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
  wget https://download.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
  cat jcameron-key.asc | gpg --dearmor >/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/jcameron-key.gpg
  sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install webmin

• install webinoly (lemp)
  wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby -clean
  sudo stack -php-ver=8.1
  sudo stack -mysql-ver=10.6
  sudo stack -lemp

So far so good, all services work properly.

Expected Behavior

When closing the console window where the linux operating system is open, the WSL is expected to stop all services in the background and turn off the virtual machine.

Actual Behavior

When I start the application again I get the following error:

Fatal Error
Error code: Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED
press any key to continue

and then the window closes.

this just happened to me after shutting down my ubuntu distro and then rebooting (after installing a few packages from the ubuntu-desktop bundle)

please help, that distro has a lot of important stuff on it

[c4artisan]

it somehow automagically revived itself?
installed the rest of the bundle (when i say bundle i mean the packages listed among "the following NEW packages will be installed" thing). working amazing so far

For me WSL runs great initially. I notice this issue if I come back to work after a big gap. Once I hit the error, wsl --shutdown is useful.

@Taco0220,
If you need to restore the WSL "machine" (to recover files, etc.), see if this approach can help you:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/76354545/1493870

It's not the solution to this issue. Only a way to get back the files inside the WSL.

I've tried a lot of things, but nothing worked。

This just happened to me

Get it frequently lately. Much confusion. I feel like it started once I:

• updated to latest
• enabled options="metadata"
• enabled dbus

# Check if DBus is running, if not, launch it
if ! pgrep -x "dbus-launch" > /dev/null; then
    eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`
#    echo "DBus session started."
fi

I had the same error today. wsl.exe --shutdown fixed it on my maschine.

[skhan87]

wsl.exe --shutdown

worked for me
