For exploring the bug further, run the command that lists distros. I think it's gonna fail too!

For an attempted workaround, try deleting the AppxInstallerCache entry. I think (more like feel) the code is expecting everything under the Lxss path to have a GUID and the... corresponding structure.

For an attempted fix in the code, I think the list_distro_id function is going to need to filter RegEnumKeyEx results to only include ones that are GUIDs.

This solved my problem. Thanks!

I also had to delete TryStoreWSL to go forward.

I had to delete 'TryStoreWSL' in addition to 'AppxInstallerCache', leaving only GUID entries under 'Lxss'. After that, lxrunoffline works.
