Windows 11: WSL & VM VirtualBox not working simultaneously

Hi,

Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2
Installed on ‎22/‎08/‎2021
OS build 22000.168
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.168.0

So when I had windows 10, I could run wsl2 and VM's on VirtualBox together. However, since upgrading to windows 11 through the insider builds, it seems to have broken that synchronicity. My windows feature are seen below, this is the same setup I've had for about a year now.

I went into powershell and ran "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off". This broke my WSL2, but fixed my VMs in VirtualBox. Virtualisation is enabled in my BIOS settings. I don't have the option to revert to an older build either

Any help is appreciated, thanks,

    Hi Igor,

    Since Windows 11 is now officially released and since this issue still exists, can you please provide an insight into it?

    Thanks,

    Hezi

    Windows 11 is pre-release insider's build. There is dedicated insider's forum - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/for...
