You may encounter this problem. WSA has been working fine for you, but all of a sudden, it breaks/ stops working. You are distraught. What do you do, when WSA beloved had been borked.

 

Solution:

 

  1. Go to "Turn Windows features on and off" and if any of these features below are enabled, DISABLE THEM.

  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux

  1. Ensure that you have Control Flow Guard enabled in Windows Security > Apps & browser control > Exploit protection. This is a known issue that can prevent WSA from starting

    Change the value of “Start” from “3” to “0”

Note

You can change it back to 3, if it makes no difference

 

  1. Then in CMD (Run as Adminstrator), paste:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

 

  1. ENABLE the features that you disabled in Step 1 and restart a second time.
