I had already done this but still got the error.

Opening an Terminal (admin) and running

wsl --install Ubuntu

... downloaded and installed "Virtual Machine Platform" - which is also in the Turn Windows features on and off dialog.

Once rebooted, I can start Ubuntu

For me, the problem was that you need to run Ubuntu as Admin at least for the first time.

If yu run as a normal user it gives an error.

Hi guys.

If you have "Windows hypervisor platformr" turn on "Turn Windows features on and off", you have just to turn off and then reboot your pc.

Good luck :)

In my laptop, restarting my laptop resolved the problem. And after that, it worked just fine. Hope this helps you as well. :)

Hello!

I had the same problem two days ago and I solved it using this method, which I kindly ask you to try out:

In Windows Search Bar, look for "Turn Windows features on or off". Launch it and scroll down until you find "Windows Subsystem for Linux". You'll find it not checked, so you need to check it. Then, your PC will ask your for a reboot. After this, try to launch Ubuntu again and it should work just fine.

thanks for going into detail! i think most people with this problem are probably pretty unfamiliar with terminal stuff so can't figure it out from just being told to tick the box lol

Hey!

Just wanted to ask that, if I reboot my PC, would I loose all my data in the process? Or is it just needed to apply the changes and it won't hurt my data?

O meu deu o mesmo problema, então eu fui no: https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel.
E realizei a configuração zero.

Habilitei o Subsistema do Windows para Linux

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

Habilitei o recurso de Máquina Virtual

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Baixei o pacote de atualização do kernel do Linux

Pacote de atualização do kernel do Linux do WSL2 para computadores x64

Defini o WSL 2 como a sua versão padrão

wsl --set-default-version 2

Reiniciei minha máquina Execultei o ubuntu como administrador.

After installing on Win11 this Windows Feature while trying to run Ubuntu distro for the first time, an error was displayed. From regular user account:

Installing, this may take a few minutes... WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x8004032d Error: 0x8004032d (null) Press any key to continue...

And from administrator account - a bit more informative:

Installing, this may take a few minutes... WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800701bc Error: 0x800701bc WSL 2 requires an update to its kernel component. For information, visit https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel. Press any key to continue...

Yes, I can handle this. But I would call this unexpected obstacle.

Exactly as the message stated - follow the link https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel which redirected to https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package (page last edited 2023-11-20)

Then download there "WSL2 Linux kernel update package for x64 machines" and install as administrator the .msi file.

And this problem was gone. Luckily it just worked this time :)
