When I tried to install wsl without enabling it, it gives me this error
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl --install
wsl : The term 'wsl' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

After trying out Microsoft's guide to manual installation, it still fails
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

When I tried to enable wsl via command prompt, it gives the same error. It "trys" to search/enable/install for wsl but in the end, it gives the same error code (same in title).
- Is my computer capable of this virtualization?
- Do I need to update something?
- Have I messed up anything in the system files?
