    WSL Install results with stop code: HYPERVISOR_ERROR


    Whenever I try to install Ubuntu through both powershell and the microsoft store, I get a BSOD error with stop code HYPERVISOR_ERROR when I try to run Ubuntu after install. What I have done:- enabled and disabled virtual machine platform, windows subsystem for linux, and windows hypervisor platform my system doesn't show 'Hyper-V' features- run 'DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth'- bios updated- drivers updated- ran windows memory diagnostic- enable virtualization in biosI do have hyper virtualization installed because in virtualbox, I can still run VMs using Hyper-V acceleration

    :)

    Cannot upgrade installed distros in WSL to version 2

    After installing the Win10 2004 build 19041 update (running winver shows "version 2004 (OS build 19041.388)", I've tried to upgrade a couple of installed distros I had in WSL version 1 to WSL version 2 following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10. All the steps in the instructions compete successfully, up to the point where I try to change the WSL version of one of the installed distros to 2 at which point I see the messages below:

    Code:
    I have enabled the Virtual Machine Platform feature (it shows as on with a tick against it in Control Panel Windows features), Intel-vt virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, and running msinfo32 shows, at the bottom of the system summary listing:

    Code:
    I also tried installing another distro with the WSL default version set to 2, but attempting to launch it shows the error:

    Code:
    Any suggestions on how to get around this problem? From what I've read, WSL2 gives worthwhile speed increases over WSL1, and so is worth using if I can get it to work.

    Error code: Wsl/ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST | WSL seems to be broken after upgrading to Windows 11

    Hi Microsoft Team,

    I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and attempted to install Docker. However, upon installation, I encountered difficulties launching Docker due to issues with WSL.

    WSL seems to be broken in my system.

    when I run below command in command prompt (admin mode) :

    wsl --list --verbose

    I get below error :

    The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

    Error code: Wsl/ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST

    Therefore, I uninstalled docker and WSL.

    Turned off below windows features:

    1. Hyper-V
    2. Virtual Machine Platform
    3. Windows HyperVisor Platform
    4. Windows SubSystem for Linux

    Rebooted.

    Turned on the above windows feature and installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS from Microsoft Store.

    Rebooted.

    But its still not working.

    when I run below command again :

    wsl --list --verbose

    It still gives the same error.

    Could someone assist with this query, please ?

    wsl installation nightmare

    Hey guys,

    Haven't been able to install wsl on windows. Here's a summary of my pain:

    PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl -d Ubuntu-22.04

    There is no distribution with the supplied name. Error code: Wsl/Service/WSL_E_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

    PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

    Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is already installed.

    Launching Ubuntu 22.04 LTS...

    The operation completed successfully.

    PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl -l -v

    Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.

    Use 'wsl.exe --list --online' to list available distributions and 'wsl.exe --install ' to install.

    Distributions can also be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store: Install WSL

    Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

    Whenever it does "successfully" launch, it just flashes a terminal on the screen for half a second and immediately closes. Then some background process called WSL lives on in the task manager, though it uses no resources.

    The only way I could download it originally was through the command

    wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04 --web-download

    Trying to install through windows store or the above command without web-download just timed out.

    This is a new Win11 pc, fully updated. I have restarted it multiple times and re-enabled the optional features for vm / wsl / hypervisor.

    I also can't seem to download anything from the windows store. I thought this may be a firewall issue, but it has permissions in the firewall settings and disabling the firewall seems to have no impact.

    If I remove both installations (WSL & Ubuntu 22.04), I can try this:

    PS C:\Users\tyler> wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

    Installing: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
    An error occurred during installation. Distribution Name: 'Ubuntu 22.04 LTS' Error Code: 0x80072ee2

    Happens regardless of DNS status to 8.8.8.8 (google) or firewall enabled/disabled (fixes recommended elsewhere).
