    WSL options are missing!


    I am experiencing an issue with Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL on my computer. I have searched the internet extensively, but I have not been able to find a solution.When I run PowerShell with administrator privileges and type WSL, Ubuntu should typically start, but instead, I receive the following message: "The system cannot find the path specified."Next, I tried using the dism command with the following syntaxWSL options are missing! :pS C:\WINDOWS\system32> dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestartAfter rebooting, there was no change or effect.Normall

    WSL is blocked by SAC ?

    Hello,

    I'm reaching out to the community for assistance with a persistent WSL issue. Upon attempting to launch WSL, I'm encountering the following error:

    WslLaunchInteractive failed with error: 0x800711e6 - System Integrity policy has been violated. Explicit denied file.

    Steps Taken:

    1. I have reset the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
    2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WSL.
    Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I am running Windows 11 build no: 22631.2715 with WSL 2.0.9.0, and the error occurs every time I try to start WSL.

    Has anyone faced a similar issue? Specifically, I'm seeking guidance on navigating the System Integrity policy that's seemingly causing the block. Any insights into how Smart App Control impacts WSL's functionality and possible configurations to mitigate this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your time and help.
