I had a functioning verison of ubuntu running on windows 11 (using ubuntu on windows 11 app) but just followed some instructions to attach its vhdx file via disk management (I wanted to see inside). now ubuntu wont start with message ...

The operation timed out waiting becuase a response was not received fromthe virtual machine or container. Error code: WSL/Service/CreateInstance/HCS_E_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Run cmd as administrator and update your wsl

wsl --update

then go to control panel --> programs --> turn windows features on or off.

then uncheck both windows hypervisor platform and virtual machine platform --> click ok

open features again and check both of them again windows hypervisor platform and virtual machine platform --> click ok

once the installation is done, reboot your pc and everything should be working after that.
