Experiencing this on 10.0.16241 Build 16241 Home, Insider Fast Ring
Everything was working fine until the latest build came down for me. I previously was using Fedora 25. The first time I experienced this I did an lxinstall /uninstall /y /full - and uninstalled WSL in Windows features, then reinstalled.
C:\Users\tronik>lxrun /install
Warning: lxrun.exe is only used to configure the legacy Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution.

Enter new UNIX username: tronik
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Installation successful!

I then run bash, passwd for tronik, sudo passwd root, to change passwords.
And then... get-prebuilt.py for fedora:latest and
C:\opt\WSL-Distribution-Switcher>install.py fedora:latest

The following distributions are currently installed:

You do not seem to have the default distribution installed anymore.
To reinstall it, run lxrun /uninstall and lxrun /install from the command prompt.
C:\opt\WSL-Distribution-Switcher>bash
Error: 0x80070040
Press any key to continue...
In addition, restarting or stopping/starting lxssmanager has no effect.
As well as trying to switch back to ubuntu:xenial with switch.py yields message about Linux subsystem is currently running. Please kill all instances before continuing.
Issue was remedied after downloading via get-source.py instead of get-prebuilt.
OS: Windows 10 Creators Update (build 15063)
Python version: 3.5.3
After clearing my previous WSL and installing a fresh default WSL (Ubuntu 16.04, using the official utility), I attempted to install Fedora 26 (tried using both get-prebuilt.py and get-source.py), but I also get an 0x80070040 error when starting bash (although install.py runs without any errors – also, the official WSL didn't have that error).
It's the same for me with build 15063.
