WSL2 won't launch even after troubleshooting with Hyper-V

[KerimKAintHere]

WSL version: 2.2.4.0
Kernel version: 5.15.153.1-2
WSLg version: 1.0.61
MSRDC version: 1.2.5326
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26091.1-240325-1447.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.22631.3880

Expected Behavior
-WSL should install and work after fixing Hyper-V

Actual Behavior
-WSL2 thinks HyperV is not installed

I'm using WSL2

the Error:
WSL2 is not supported with your current machine configuration.
Please enable the "Virtual Machine Platform" optional component and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
Enable "Virtual Machine Platform" by running: wsl.exe --install --no-distribution
For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/HCS/HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED

All the components i turned on are:

"Virtual Machine Platform"
"Windows Subsystem for Linux"
"Hyper-V"
and "WIndows Hypervision Platform"

I accidentally ran some weird looking .exe file that disabled Hyper-V and i had to get Hyper-V back, but even after Re-installing it, WSL2 won't launch
I even have Virtualization Enabled in my BIOS

and here are the logs:

does anyone know what i can do to fix this?

Hey,

Just faced the same problem. My issue was resolved by going into BIOS and enabling SVM mode.

1. Enter the BIOS setup screen on startup
2. Access the "Advanced CPU Core Settings" menu
3. Enable "SVM Mode"

Perhaps give this a go. As a sidenote, my WSL2 faced this error immediately after I updated my Windows. I had tried other solutions (including restarting "Virtual Machine Platform", "HyperV", etc..), but none seemed to work except this one.

@KerimKAintHere: Looking at the logs, I can see that the BCD doesn't boot with hypervisr:

hypervisorlaunchtype    Off

Can you try running (elevated command prompt):

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

And reboot to see if that solves the issue ?

.

what is svm ?

.

what is svm ?

SVM refers to "Secure Virtualization Mode". Basically, enabling that option will enable virtualization, which WSL2 depends on.
