I have Windows

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 22H2
OS build 22621.1992
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22644.1000.0

There is a enabled check "Windows Subsystem for Linux" in Windows features.I can see wsl.exe in c:\windows\system32. But if I write

c:\windows\system32\wsl.exe <any command or nothing>

I get

The system cannot find the file specified.

I type the command in Windows PowerShell Terminal and in old cmd.exe and get the same result.I have already tried to check off "Windows Subsystem for Linux", restart and check it on, but it hasn't helped.enter image description here

UPDATEI always ran wsl from PS. But now I've run wsl from Windows+R command prompt. And dialog box was shown:

[Window Title]C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_1.0.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wsl.exe[Content]Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_1.0.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wsl.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.[OK]

WTH?
