  1. WSL2 not working


    Upgraded to Windows 11 today and decided to install WSL2, already have WSL1 and Ubuntu installed so I entered the commands "WSL --update" and after reboot "WSL --set-version Ubuntu-20.04 2" to upgrade to WSL2, but the latter command throws error: Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.Virtual Machine Platform and CPU virtualization is already enabled. How to fix this?

    WSL2 for windows

    I have failed into installing WSL for Windows. I have read here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10 how to do it, and at step 4:


    1. Download the latest package:
      [COLOR=var(--text)][COLOR=var(--info-dark)] Note[/COLOR]
      If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo | find "System Type".
      [/COLOR]
    2. Run the update package downloaded in the previous step. (Double-click to run - you will be prompted for elevated permissions, select ‘yes’ to approve this installation.)

    I encountered:

    and

    What I did wrong ? I have the following W10 version:

    Another question: am I in the the right forum ?

  3. WSL2 and Environment Variables

    I am trying to install Selenium and build a python application that includes automating web page completion (login info). I would like to built the program using VSCode and WSL2. I've installed selenium in WSL2. Selenium requires a webdriver api to
    be installed and included on the system PATH in the environment variables. If I install the msedgedriver.exe for Windows, in Windows, and add it to PATH, will it work with Selenium installed on WSL2 in VSCode using Python?

    WSL2 and new Windows Terminal not working with VPN

    For most of my apps I don't want to use a VPN. So I have a VPN client that supports split tunneling so I can choose whether I want it to use VPN or not on app by app basis.

    The VPN client works fine with different apps but when I try to set it up with Ubuntu WSL/2 and new Window Terminal app (by selecting both Ubuntu 20.04 LTS WSL2 app and the Windows Terminal App)... it doesn't work. When I check IP from Ubuntu WSL2 bash
    terminal (using "curl ifconfig.me") it shows my real IP rather than the VPN ip (the VPN split tunnel works fine when I try to use it with Powershell via Windows Terminal).

    What exact apps do I need to chose for the WSL2 Ubuntu terminal to work with the split tunnel VPN?
