I am in a VMware Virtual Desktop and I am trying to convert Ubuntu to WSL2 using wsl --set-version ubuntu 2 but I am getting an error:
Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
However I looked in the Windows Features panel and both Windows Subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machine Platform are checked.
I believe as one cause of the error my distro was downloaded not as administrator but as a regular user in PowerShell. If I try wsl -l -v as admin I see no distributions but as user I will see my ubuntu download.
My question is, will I need my distribution to display when running PowerShell as admin in order to use WSL2, and if so is there an easy way to make that happen besides uninstalling my distro entirely?
