I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) via the command prompt with admin rights. After installation, upon restarting my computer, I receive an error message indicating that there was a problem, and it starts reverting back to previous settings. I've attempted to enable the necessary features like the virtual machine platform and the Windows Subsystem for Linux via "Turn Windows features on or off," but I still get the same error upon restart. My ultimate goal is to run Docker Desktop, but I'm facing an error indicating that virtualization isn't supported. During the installation of Docker, I don't see options for WSL 2 or Hyper-V; it only shows a prompt to create a desktop shortcut. When I install it and try to run Docker, it tells me that it cannot virtualize. For context, I have Windows 11 Home, and I can run Kali Linux perfectly fine on VMware. I've searched extensively online but haven't found a solution. I'm unsure if it's related to my Windows version or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried resetting WSL? Sometimes it can help resolve these kinds of issues. Give it a shot and see if that helps you get Docker running!
I’ve reset my entire system already, but I'm willing to try resetting just WSL if you think it might help.
