I've changed my Graphics Card from a Nvidia GTX 970 to a Intel Arc B580 today. After this I couldn't use WSL anymore. The GPU Driver is 32.0.101.6257 and the WHQL only option in the GPU Software is turned on.
Repro Steps
Run wsl.exe or wsl.exe -d ubuntu
Expected Behavior
A Linux Terminal shows up
Actual Behavior
Getting the Error Message:
The system cannot find the specified file.
Errorcode: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureGpu/HCS/ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
(translatet from the german version:
Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
Fehlercode: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureGpu/HCS/ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
