Harm_Veenstra I followed the steps until I got to the part where I can reinstall WSL Preview, but I can't install it. It says, "There has been an error."

Ok, so the Store has issues itself perhaps? You could try:
Launch The Built-In Windows Troubleshooter:
- Go to Settings.
- Then click on Update and Security.
- Then click on Troubleshooting.
- Go to Advanced Troubleshooting.
- Select Microsoft Store apps.

- Log off Windows Store and log in again? And you could try running wsreset.exe?
- I tried both of those options. I'm still having issues with downloading and updating apps. Is my copy of Windows 11 that I have through the Windows Insider Program faulty? Should I do a reset?
