2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

Still getting this when I try to open Ubuntu:
*Installing, this may take a few minutes... WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370114 Error: 0x80370114 The operation could not be started because a required feature is not installed.
Press any key to continue...*
I did make sure the subsystem feature in windows features was turned on, btw
Wsl seems to be installed since it responded to the command to set it to version 2.
But it doesn't sound like it ever installed Ubuntu properly since it shows no installed distributions.
Quick search shows that you need to enable the following windows features:
Virtual Machine Platform And Windows Hypervisor Platform
Are these enabled?
Edit:
Someone already answered the same thing but I didn't see it before posting this. Well done and glad it's working.
