    Error: 0x80370114 The operation could not be started because a required feature is not installed.

    (Windows 10 2022H2)

    I am really stuck on this error, is there anything else I can try? Is there anything I can try? I seem to be unable to update WSL.

    Running in Powershell:

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370114

    Error: 0x80370114 The operation could not be started because a required feature is not installed.

    I have tried multiple variations of ensuring virtualization is turned on, and enabling various related features, following the steps in the below answers.

    Running:

    wsl --set-default-version 2 'The operation completed successfully.'

    However from wsl -v:

    WSL version: 1.1.3.0

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Whenever I try to install any Linux distro on WSL I get this error:

    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324

    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    This is my setup:

    Versione WSL: 0.67.6.0
    Versione kernel: 5.15.62.1
    Versione WSLg: 1.0.44
    Versione MSRDC: 1.2.3401
    Versione Direct3D: 1.606.4
    Versione DXCore: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
    versione Windows: 10.0.22621.521

    The Ubuntu distro is not listed in the installed distro:

    wsl --list --all

    Sottosistema Windows per Linux non ha distribuzioni installate.

    Usare 'wsl.exe --list --online' per elencare le distribuzioni disponibili e 'wsl.exe --install ' per l'installazione.

    È anche possibile installare le distribuzioni visitando il Microsoft Store: Install WSL

    Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

    Anyway if I try to install Ubuntu I get this message:

    wsl --install -d Ubuntu

    Ubuntu è gi installato. (Ubuntu is alreday installed)
    Avvio di Ubuntu in corso...

    An then I get this message:

    Installing, this may take a few minutes...
    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80040324
    Error: 0x80040324 (null)
    Press any key to continue...

    and here it stops.

    Hype-V is installed without adding any virtual machine or virtual switch in the control panel.

    Is someone having any clue?

    Thank you for any help.
