I do not have access to BIOS in my system as it is a offical laptop.

I would like to install WSL2 in my system. Somehow WSL Update didn't work for me.

PS C:\Users\anand.sathasivam> wsl.exe --update
Checking for updates.
The most recent version of Windows Subsystem for Linux is already installed.
PS C:\Users\anand.sathasivam> wsl -l -v
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.

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

Distributions can also be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore
Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

I have installed Ubuntu from Microsoft Store. When I open that it says,

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370102
Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization
Press any key to continue...

Even wsl.exe --install ubuntu is failing.

PS C:\Users\anand.sathasivam> wsl.exe --install ubuntu
Installing: Ubuntu
Ubuntu has been installed.
Launching Ubuntu...
Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370102
Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization
Press any key to continue...
The installation process for distribution 'Ubuntu' failed with exit code: 1.
Error code: Wsl/InstallDistro/WSL_E_INSTALL_PROCESS_FAILED

So what I could do to solve this problem. I have concerned work above WSL2, it is just not having Ubuntu in my Windows 11 system over WSL. It is looks like my organization restricting me not to have anything like this over their group policy. However I do not have access to BIOS I do have a administrative permission in my system, so I can run gpedit.msc and make the necessary changes.

    I do not have access to BIOS in my system then you won't be able to enable virtualization ... the only solution is to enable virtualization. Someone at the "official" needs to help you ... note: group policy has naff all to do with accessing BIOS - what makes you think you can't access BIOS? is it password protected?

  • I do have access to my BIOS, I just checked pressing F1 while startup as mine is Lenovo Thinkpad. Consecutive to that, over BitLocker, by mistake, I had interrupted the booting sequence by pressing Enter and for now, my system is locked by BitLocker by showing Recovery Key ID—{.....} and allowing to press only F1-F10. Although I tried whatever was suggested over the console, I left with the only option to fall back with my IT Help Desk. And I don't know whether I can alter my BIOS setup and I do have permission to do that.

  • that's a word salad - all I read was that you DO have access to BIOS ... so, make the required changes

  • Suggest me what changes which I have to do, I will do that on my BIOS, when I am back to my system from my present BitLocker flaw, I'll let you know the model number once I am back to my Lenovo Thinkpad as it is not a typical blue screen BIOS. I will follow this link,- digitalcitizen.life/pc-laptop-model-windows-10 to get my machine model number.
