I have a brand new Dell i7 Skylake laptop, brand new Samsung Pro 960 SSD, New Windows 10 build 16299 (Fall Creators Update released yesterday) just upgraded from build 15063.

I downloaded Ubuntu from Windows Store but got this error:

The WSL optional component is not enabled. Please enable it and try again.
See https://aka.ms/wslinstall for details.
Error: 0x8007007e
Press any key to continue...

I googled the recommended site and passed the hex error code with no luck.

Rebooting didn't help.

Any ideas?
