Windows 10: Error 14081 When Enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux

I get the error


"Error: 14081



The referenced assembly could not be found."


When trying to enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux through Powershell running in Admin. I'm using Windows 10 Home 2004. Another problem I have is the error


"Your device is missing important security and quality fixes"


but when there's an update it downloads and installs fine but the error remains even after the shutdown/restart.

Unable to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you have downloaded Linux Terminal from Microsoft Store and you are getting an error when running the PowerShell command. However, as per the article

Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10 you need to run the PowerShell command first and then install the required Linux distribution from the store. I suggest you to try running the PowerShell command
first and check.



For more information on Windows Subsystem for Linux, please refer the articles
