coreinfo says processor does not support VMX when it actually does

Solution 1:

I fixed this issue myself following these steps:

  1. Open Windows Security.
  2. Go to App & Browser Control.
  3. Go to Exploit protection settings.
  4. Go to Program settings.
  5. Set C:\Windows\System32\vmcompute.exe and C:\Windows\System32\vmwp.exe to 0 system overrides.
  6. Restart these processes.

Now I am able to run VMs as well as install WSL2 distros.
