Sorry about the long explanation, i just want to know where i went wrong
i wanted to download kali on windows but microsoft store had some major bugs and after so many times of running different commands and doing others stuff i decide to go to https://store.rg-adguard.net/ which allowed me to download kali without using Microsoft store after i downloaded it from the site i tried to run the .Appxbundle but the install button turned grey and didn't do anything, so i cancelled it and typed Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\user\Downloads\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_1.5.0.0_neutral_~_ey8k8hqnwqnmg.AppxBundle"
in powershell(Adminstrator) and then it installed but now there is a new problem, if i open the app from start menu, it waits for some time the it brings a popup saying The operation returned becuase the timeout period expired
, then if i open kali.exe
from C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_1.5.0.0_x64__ey8k8hqnwqnmg
it opens cmd and shows
Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070005
Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied.
Press any key to continue...
And after pressing any key it closes the window, an if i open cmd and type kali
it returns The system cannot execute the specified program.
, i have checked every where but nothing seems to be helping
I have also tried restarting LxssManager service
EDIT: if i run bash
in command prompt it tells me
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
