I've installed PowerShell and WSL using the Microsoft Doc .

However, when attempting to wsl --install kali-Linux from PowerShell, I'm getting an error 0x80370114 .

Well, some good news and bad news.

First, the good - from a couple of searches that resulted in this , this , and this , I believe the error that you are receiving is due to an incorrect setting in Windows Exploit Protection .

Check in Windows Security -> App & Browser Control -> Exploit Protection Settings :

• In System Settings , Control Flow Guard (CFG) should be "On" (in my case, it is "Use default (On)".

• In Program Settings , there should be entries for:

  • C:\Windows\System32\vmcompute.exe
  • C:\Windows\System32\vmwp.exe

  Both should have Control Flow Guard set to:

  • Override System Settings
  • On
  • Use Strict CFG

There are some reports that turning these off corrects the problem, but that's probably more of a "patch" than a true resolution.

Hopefully that will resolve the 0x80370114 error.

Now the bad news...

When I last checked a few days ago, the version of Kali that is installed via wsl --install is still so old that it won't even update. See this answer for details and potential solutions.

It's best if you can install from the Store.

Answer 2

Windows subsystem feature was disabled, I fixed it using these cmds below.

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart 

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
