Android files in Win 11?

[jnelsoninjax]

I have the Android subsystem installed, and I enabled virtualization in UEFI, but the subsystem still says to enable virtualization in BIOS, but it is enabled, has anybody else had any problems like this?

What specifically did you enable in BIOS?

I would double check that you toggled the right thing and that the setting saved in BIOS/UEFI

Also check your task manager to see if it reflects enabled in the performance graph tab

that is weird, I don't see why you're getting that error then.

Did you install WSA via the store or other method? I'd try uninstalling/reinstalling it fresh now that you have virtualization enabled in case a flag is stuck somewhere in WSA itself.

Under turn on / off windows features, make sure you have "Virtual Machine Platform" installed.

I just enabled that, going to reboot and see if it fixed the problem.

Update: I enabled virtual machine platform and now it works.

both WSA and WSL require the Windows Virtualization Platform (aka Hyper-V/App-V)

I discovered that. You would really think that if it needed these things, it would've enabled them during the setup or at least popped up a message saying to enable them...
