After sign-out and sign-in I had once this issue during accessing bash.exe:

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800703fa
Error: 0x800703fa Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.

Press any key to continue...

Solved by running this in CMD as Administrator:

net stop LxssManager
net start LxssManager
