Thank you @wlvchandler. We're currently investigating this issue.

Can you share which processor model you have ? One of our theory is that this regression only hits on certain CPU's.

[wlvchandler]

I'll provide diagnostic logs later if possible - I had to recover quickly to keep working

And yeah certainly @OneBlue, it's an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core.
Processor(s): 1 Processor(s) Installed.
[01]: AMD64 Family 25 Model 97 Stepping 2 AuthenticAMD ~4201 Mhz
BIOS Version: American Megatrends Inc. 1636, 7/28/2023

@OneBlue I have a similar CPU and I can also confirm I'm experiencing the same issue noted here and in #12087 after the update:

Thank you so much ! it's been 7h that im trying everything to make it work and uninstalling the update fixed it ! Thanks !

[barnumbirr]

Same issue here, uninstalling the update allows WSL to start again.

[identityope]

just got the same issue here after update windows

[pappleby]

Same issue, same fix, similar processor.
Think something else on my machine depends on wsl too, because if I waited too long after startup, things would stop working (could still move windows around, but taskbar broke, task manager stopped getting new data, even restarting hung). All of which was fixed once KB5043145 was uninstalled.

[identityope]

Yeah I've fixed the issue by uninstalling KB5043145 update

[xoofx]

Yeah I've fixed the issue by uninstalling KB5043145 update

I confirm that it is also fixing the issue with WSL by uninstalling this update.

[abferm]

Same issue with a Ryzen 7 7700X, was resolved by uninstalling update KB5043145

[daryllmoya]

Anyone here can share how to uninstall that update? I can't seem to do so, this is frustrating.

Hi @OneBlue, I hope you fix this issue asap. This greatly affects my work. Try your best and thank you!
