May 8, 2021 at 2:12 comment added youngrrrr WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I own an HP Z4 G4 Workstation and had to restart my computer and go into the BIOS menu to enable the virtualization on my CPU. I'd try searching "<your computer name> enable virtualization bios" on the web and following those instructions. After a restart and running this command, I was able to get the 'enter a new username/password' prompt

Aug 9, 2020 at 1:22 comment added Blu @MMT You did just about the same thing I did! Had Ubuntu working originally, but in my troubleshooting process, I uninstalled Ubuntu so I could reinstall it to see if maybe that would work.
Aug 7, 2020 at 10:42 comment added MMT I'm on Intel and have the same problem, virtualization is on in BIOS and the sh*t still fails with the error must be a bug with windows, annoyingly I had Ubuntu working but I have uninstalled it as I have had some other issues and now when trying to reinstall I'm hitting this error.

Aug 3, 2020 at 14:51 comment added Blu I checked my BIOS multiple times to verify the setting in on. This is definitely a weird issue. I'm thinking it's possibly a bug WSL 2 has with some AMD CPUs, but I can't find anything to verify that.
Aug 3, 2020 at 14:35 comment added mchko Same here. Before that I was on a intel based conf. No pb.to install wsl (1 at that time) Of course you checked in your bios /advanced / cpu / that SVM mode was enabled? I hope someone has the answer.
