After an update of my Ubuntu image it will not start

`PS C:\Users\lmuser> wsl -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION

• Ubuntu-24.04 Running 2
  Ubuntu Stopped 2`
  and I am getting these errors:

Restarting WSL does not help. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Looking at the output, it's looking like the image is corrupted (/bin/bash) doesn't seem to exist. Unfortunately when that happens, the only thing you can do is to create a new distribution (via wsl --unregister and then wsl --install)
