i cant even start wsl, can you give some insights or links, how to run e2fsck?

attach the vhdx containing rootfs of wsl2 to another linux system

whoever that get this error message, the problem is that, you have your ext filesystem corrupted, because a dirty shutdown (in my case close vscode then quickly shutdown the pc) or power outage, you can repair the issue here or follow this other thread
