Error message

Error code: Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED

What I tried
Installed local version, also tried Online with same result:
Clean Windows installation, trying to start ArchWSL after installation and got the error message above.

To Reproduce

Install following guide, then try to start Arch.

Enviroment:

• Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26120.2705]
• WSL version 2
• System: Copilot+ Snapdragon arm64
• ArchWSL version 24.4.28.0
• ArchWSL Installer type zip/appx clean install on clean Windows
• Launcher version: wsldl2, version 24042000 (amd64)

Running the store Ubuntu 22.04 work, but it's not Arch...

It has something to do with systemd.
This issue is a good starting point.

thanks for the reply, tried that but then I get other error messages, and the stock Ubuntu WSL works fine.
