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.
  • Hyper-V
  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux

  2. Boot into your BIOS, and DISABLE Virtualization.

  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

  2. In registry editor (regedit), go to “\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FsDepends"

    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.

  2. Boot into your BIOS, and ENABLE Virtualization.
