    Hi All,
    I cannot launch Ubuntu under Windows 10 (WSL) on an M1 with Parallels Desktop Pro 16.5.
    I get the following:
    Installing, this may take a few minutes...
    WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370102
    Error: 0x80370102 The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed.

    WSL is enabled in Windows Features as is the Virtual Platform. Hyper-V Hypervisor is grayed out and cannot be changed (and is deselected).
    I need WSL to be functional on Windows. Help?

    Just a "me too". Same as you, tried all the suggestions I could find. Doesn't work.

    You need to change wsl to run version 1 virtualization.
    wsl --set-default-version 1
