WSL2 Ubuntu won't launch on Windows 11 Home
As mentioned in the GitHub issue I went to Windows Security but both vmvp.exe and vmcompute.exe didn't have any overrides, also there is no override called Code Flow Guard, but two overrides called Code Integrity Guard and Control Flow Guard ( I suspect this is due to Windows 11 ).
I still get this error so if anyone could clarify it would be greatly appreciated
Other Info:
- OS: Windows 11 Home
- AMD CPU

Hyper-V in Home installation :
