For more than a year I have been running Ubuntu 20.04 and more recently 22.04 on my windows machine.
Recently I was having some difficulties with my Ruby version that was installed on the Ubuntu system and I needed to source the bashrc file every time I opened the Ubuntu terminal.
For the past 3-4 days I am unable to use Ubuntu 22.04 nor 20.04, even if I install it from scratch. The terminal is inactive and not responding. Found some issues that sounded the same but I was not able to access the files from within windows and check them to try and modify something.
I need to access this terminal as there is a lot of data that is useful to me.
I tried running wsl --version and wsl --update commands in PowerShell with administrator permissions, but it just hang there for quite some time, returning nothing.
I also confirmed WSL is enabled by following some troubleshooting from Microsoft.
Check if wsl is enabled:
