I tried your method and it still won't function. There are only 2 options I can see which is the Hyper-V feature, and the Virtual Machine Platform feature. The VMP feature is requires for WSL to function. Altho, weirdly enough, Powershell now tells me I need ot enable virtualization in my BIOS and enable the VMP feature. Both of which are enabled.

I can verify that Hyper-V is not required for WSL 2. Although adding this does fix the problem for some people I have run WSL through several restarts without Hyper-V enabled. This seems to be a bug on the Windows end.
