Problem:
When I launched Ubuntu 20.04, it pops up: "Press any key to continue...", and then if I press any key, it exits immediately. This prevents me from using (typing any command) in Ubuntu WSL. (It occurred suddenly today. For the last couple of days it has been working properly.)
Screenshot: Press any key to continue pops up after startup
Attempts Tried:
LxssManager service is running. But LxssManagerUser and LxssManagerUser_60d78 are stopped. Manually starting the two services doesn't help as they automatically stop themselves right afterwards.
Hyper-V service is set to auto. Virtualization mode is enabled (task manager -> performance -> CPU)
Trying to re-run the update from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel, but it shows WSL not installed (which is weird since I have been using it for a long time before)
Environment:
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Family, Insider Preview
Version: 10.0.20152 Version 20152
System Type: x64 based

There is a conflict between wsl.exe and Proxifier.
Developers of Proxifier gave a solution.
Thanks for the info.
We have reproduced this issue. Apparently, wsl.exe displays this error if Winsock LSP DLL gets loaded into its process.
The easiest solution is to use WSCSetApplicationCategory WinAPI call for wsl.exe to prevent this. Under the hood the call creates an entry for wsl.exe at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\AppId_Catalog This tells Windows not to load LSP DLLs into wsl.exe process.
We have a tool that can make this call: www.proxifier.com/tmp/Test20200228/NoLsp.exe
Please just run as admin with the full path to wsl.exe as the parameter: NoLsp.exe c:\windows\system32\wsl.exe
This has fixed the problem in my case.
Please let me know how it works for you.
And it works well for me!
