WSL Issues While Installing Docker – Need Help!

Asked By TechWizard77 On

I'm encountering a WSL error when trying to install Docker. The installation prompts a 'Catastrophic failure' message. I've already checked YouTube tutorials that suggest enabling certain features like Virtualization, Virtual Machine Platform, and Windows Hypervisor Platform, all of which I have done. Despite this, I'm still facing the issue. How can I troubleshoot this?

That WSL error usually indicates something is off. You can try running these commands in PowerShell as an admin:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Then restart your computer. If the problem persists, consider skipping WSL and check out the Docker installation guide for Ubuntu instead: [Docker on Ubuntu](https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-docker-on-ubuntu-2004).

I tried those commands, but unfortunately, they didn't work.

It sounds frustrating! Can you provide the output of `wsl --version`? You might have more details about the error than just 'catastrophic failure.' It seems more like a Windows or WSL problem rather than Docker itself, so we'll need to dig into that.
