Repro Steps

I'm running Windows Server 2022 base with container on AWS EC2 i3 instance.

Installed WSL using command

after installation, I've restarted the system, and I'm getting this error "Error: 0x80370102 The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed."

I've also tried enabling hyper-v but still the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Ubuntu installed successfully.

Actual Behavior

Has this problem been fixed?

Yes, it was fixed. Solution is to pick different VM framework (With metal layer support) from AWS, then WSL2 can be installed.
