Code 46 Error Device unreachable

Hello, I’m trying to install CUDA on Windows 10 20231.1
**$ cat /proc/version **
gives me: Linux version 4.19.128-microsoft-standard (oe-user@oe-host) (gcc version 8.2.0 (GCC)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 12:58:10 UTC 2020
So I’m sure the configuration should be able to run CUDA.
Also the deviceQuery example works with the following output:
./deviceQuery Starting…

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 11.2, CUDA Runtime Version = 11.1, NumDevs = 1
Result = PASS

But any other example I try to run like ./BlackScholes outputs:
[./BlackScholes] - Starting…
GPU Device 0: “Turing” with compute capability 7.5

Initializing data…
…allocating CPU memory for options.
…allocating GPU memory for options.
**CUDA error at BlackScholes.cu:116 code=46(cudaErrorDevicesUnavailable) "cudaMalloc((void )&d_CallResult, OPT_SZ)"

Any help is appreciated.

It’s a WSL2 bug since build 20226. WSL2 & CUDA does not work [v20226] · Issue #6014 · microsoft/WSL · GitHub

If you can’t rollback to an earlier insider build like 20221 then you will need to wait for the fixed build in 2~3 weeks.

any updates ? there does not appear to be a way to go to 20221 ATM

Only way to downgrade is clean install. Build 20201 should be a good stop and you can get the official ISO from https://tb.32767.ga/get.php?id=1727

Jesus fucking christ fucking hell WSL and Nvidia is super frustrating

Hello bro I have the same windows with RTX 2070 setting up CUDA is an absolute nightmare

Thank you for your fast reply. Would be so cool to have a centralized page for this…

I was looking though the Github issues seems this is a major reason why many are failing to install Nvidai-Docker on WSL2 they say fix is incoming since 2026 Let’s hope a fix is issued :((
