How to make wsl2 from stopped to running on Windows 10

I have installed docker recently on my machine. And later installed ubuntu, to install this I have had problems with windows update and anyhow I installed ubuntu.

But now wsl is in a "Stopped" state and I want it to be in a "running" state. I have tried on/off of features- wsl and virtual machine platform and the whole step again but still it is in "stopped" state.

I have tried online as well I couldn't get it.

I once encountered a similar issue.
The only solution for me was to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu.
