As mentioned in the GitHub issue I went to Windows Security but both vmvp.exe and vmcompute.exe didn't have any overrides, also there is no override called Code Flow Guard, but two overrides called Code Integrity Guard and Control Flow Guard ( I suspect this is due to Windows 11 ).

overrides for vmcomputeCFG unchecked

I still get this error so if anyone could clarify it would be greatly appreciated ubuntu wsl2 error

Other Info:

  • OS: Windows 11 Home
  • AMD CPU

    @David WSL questions regarding Ubuntu are on-topic here. It may be a Windows problem, but it is preventing the use of an official Canonical release of Ubuntu.

    WSL2 Ubuntu won't launch is an Ubuntu problem too, therefore this question is on topic at Ask Ubuntu.

    @ArchismanPanigrahi While WSL questions may often be better suited for another site like Super User, we don't and can't expect the user to know whether their problem is something that is going to require Windows or Ubuntu expertise (or both!) in advance. Also, please see this Meta answer from Zanna (mod) -- "WSL is Ubuntu and questions about running it are on topic. We should not close questions just because they smell ... Windowsy." Also the referenced Is WSL on-topic meta question and answer.

    @Jytesh "VirtualMachinePlatform" is missing from your list. This is the main component that is needed for WSL2. Can you try dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart (also from an Administrator PowerShell)? I'm guessing you are going to get an error there, but knowing what it is might get us one step closer. If it does work, then restart Windows and try the Ubuntu install again. Thanks!

As user @NotTheDr01ds noted, VirtualMachinePlatform was disabled, but even after enabling it the issue persisted, I needed to enable Hyper-V to make it work, Hyper-V is not installed in Windows Home versions so I followed this tutorial to install it, after that I disabled WSL , restarted enabled it and restarted again to make it work.
