Hey everyone,
I'm using a Thinkbook 16 G7 IML with these specs: Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 32 GB RAM, and running Windows 11 Pro. I specifically asked my IT guy to make sure I could use Docker on this machine.
However, after freshly installing Docker, it complains that it can't find any virtualization support. It does recognize my Ubuntu 24.04 distro that runs via WSL under the Resources settings. I've checked the BIOS, and virtualization is enabled there too. All the Windows features recommended in the troubleshooting guide are activated as well.
I ran the command `wsl -l -v`, and it shows the running Ubuntu 24.04 distro, but there's no entry for Docker.
What am I missing, or where's the problem?
I'd appreciate any advice or tips!

Seems like you might need to install the "Windows Hypervisor Platform". You can do this by running `optionalfeatures.exe` and checking the box for it. This has helped a lot of folks with virtualization issues in Docker.
Just to clarify, have you confirmed that you're running WSL version 2? You can check that in the console. It's also essential to ensure that the Windows Hyper-V platform is enabled in the features menu. If you've done all this and are still facing issues, consider reinstalling Docker Desktop again.
Yeah, I already reinstalled Docker after enabling Hyper-V, but I'm still getting the same error. I'll check the WSL version again.
