I just watched this video followed all the step, yet the issue persist
I found the solution, it works for me: failed installation - wsl --set-default-version 2 The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it - Stack Overflow
That worked for me, thanks
I have fixed the issue by executing these commands in powershell and cmd respectively.
Powershell as admin,
- bcdedit /set HypervisorLaunchType auto
- shutdown /r /t 0
And it automatically restarted the systems.
Then I encountered wsl error. For this, I opened the cmd and typed,
wsl --update

In my case it was because of a docker desktop distribution stuck in an “uninstall” status.
run in cmd “wsl -l -v”
there might be a distribution stuck there with name “docker-desktop” or “docker-desktop-data” or sth similar.
when I ran wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data
I opened docker desktop again and everything was working
I can’t believe it but your tip actually helped me. As You suggested, I’ve wandered through my device manager in System devices category, clicking on every hyper-v related driver, trying to update them or to see if they’re turned off, they all were up to date, but one of them was actually turned off. I enabled it, it automatically restarted my PC and now Docker Desktop is working.
One of those was turned off
Continuing the discussion from An unexpected error was encountered while executing a WSL command:
I encountered this same issue and here’s what worked for me
- Restart your PC and enter the BIOS settings by tapping ESC.
- The Startup Menu pops up with some settings below, click on “BIOS Setup”
- Navigate to the “Advanced” and then “System Options” tab.
- Look for “Virtualization Technology” or “VTx” and enable it.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS settings.

For Windows user,
Check your .wslconfig file: Look in C:\Users<username>\ for a file named .wslconfig. Open it with a text editor. Look for a line specifying the kernel, it might look something like: kernel=C:\\temp\\myCustomKernel. If you don’t need a custom kernel:
- Comment out or remove this line
- Save the file and try running Docker Desktop again
This helped me solve my issue
it worked for me thx
This work for me, very very thanks!
hey guys , for me this worked
1- even though virtualization is enabled in bios u might wanna toggle it if the hypervisor is grayed like the attached sc
restart> disable virtualization> restart again and enable it > go windows features and turn on all the features including the hyporvisor which is now accessible
2- type hyper v manager in windows search and u ll be able to see a gui app like the screenshot
3- its ok if task manager doesnt show hyper v enabled dont panic!
use the below commands to check if things are smooth.
1- Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All | expected output{FeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-All
DisplayName : Hyper-V
Description : Provides services and management tools for creating and running virtual machines and their
resources.
RestartRequired : Possible
State : Enabled
CustomProperties :
}
2- Get-Service -Name vmcompute | expected output {Status Name DisplayName
Running vmcompute Hyper-V Host Compute Service}
3- make sure u have wsl and ubuntu installed and set to version 2 \wsl --set-default-version 2
Check Ethernet Adapter “vEthernet (Default Switch)” is enabled. Enabling this helped me.
wsl --update worked for me
Thank You very much! This work for me!
