The OS feature "Virtual Machine Platform" is not installed (only Hyper-V optional features are installed). Can you go through optional components to install it?

FeatureName : VirtualMachinePlatform
State : Disabled

Thanks!

I've installed Virtual Machine Platform, and updated WSL. Seems to have fixed the issue.
Not a very user-friendly error message, when it could have just said "install Virtual Machine Platform".

I have updated the windwos 11 pro to 23h2, and also update the wsl to 2.0.14.0. The VMP and Hyper-V are also installed, but the wsl still not working.

(base) PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl
Failed to configure network (networkingMode Nat). To disable networking, set `wsl2.networkingMode=None` in C:\Users\lab\.wslconfig
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureNetworking/HNS/0xffffffff

Please help me out! Thanks!
