    Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a sudden issue with WSL2 on my Windows 11 Home edition. Everything was working fine earlier today, but now I can't launch any of my WSL distros. Virtualization is enabled in BIOS Windows is fully updated WSL, Virtual Machine Platform, and Hypervisor Platform features are enabled wsl --list --verbose shows all my distros using version 2 But when I run wsl, I get the following error:WSL2 is not supported with your current machine configuration.Please enable the "Virtual Machine Platform" optional component and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.Ena

    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:

  3. WSL2 Stopped Working

    WSL stopped working today when I started up my machine. I get the following error:

    I have checked my BIOS and virtualization is enabled. I have tried removing the Virtual Machine Platform from Windows and reinstalling it, which has not worked. Vmware Workstation still works. Hyper-V is disabled and has been so previously.

    I am running Windows 11 on a Lenovo P1 with an intel i9 and 32 gigs ram. I've only had this machine for about 2 weeks so hardly anything is installed on it. I was running Ubuntu and Kali via WSL2 with no problems until today.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas.
