Cannot repair WSL after apparent corruption

[George-PR]

WslLogs-2025-02-27_22-47-27.zip

Windows Version
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5487]

Reproducing Error
(No steps needed - I just open up WSL and it happens)

WSL is finishing an upgrade...
wsl: WSL installation appears to be corrupted (Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/Install/0x80070660).
Press any key to repair WSL, or CTRL-C to cancel.
This prompt will time out in 60 seconds.  

After pressing a key to initiate the repair:

Updating Windows Subsystem for Linux to version: 2.4.11.

A progress bar begins filling up, and when it reaches 100%, the window closes, and upon reopening, the same beginning messages appear.

Expected Behaviour
I was expecting WSL to successfully upgrade and be ready for use.

Strace
I don't think this is applicable for me, as there is no command I used for the issue; I simply had to press a random key to initiate the repair.
