Any help would be welcome
Thanks in advance.

@JdTissot Same issue here... Did you restarted your PC before installing this update?

Same issue on me...
I found this: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8186
it says that windows update tries to install arm64 package for x64 system and that gives error.
I am trying the solution at here, to manually downloading update...
...
Yeap, manual download working. Install update cab for your system version, unpack and download update. Result: Update done and no warning for that update again.

I would like to propose the following solution:
Click on this link:
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=wsl
Choose the correct version and then click on download. Choose the correct processor type. Download the CAB-file and extract it to get the corresponding MSI-file. Then install the MSI-file and it should be working.
You may also use the WSL --update command to check for updates afterwards.
It worked on my laptop.
Kind regards,
Kelley

@Kelley1995 Well, that process seems to have changed the error, although it's not obvious that it's going to install the rest of the updates. We'll see. Thank you!
On a side note, when downloading the file Chrome gave me an error about not being able to download securely. I wonder if it's an expired cert or something. (I'm not interested enough right now to look)
