Omen 15 won't boot after installing WSL

[Jonatan2]

Hello,

I’m having trouble booting my computer (OMEN 15) after trying to install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on Windows 11 Home. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Enabled virtualization in the BIOS.
2. Enabled virtualization in Windows Features.
3. Installed WSL through the command line and followed all necessary steps.

After installation, when I try to boot my computer, I encounter a blue screen saying it couldn’t boot properly. The only solution seems to be restoring the system to an earlier point, but the problem persists when I try to reinstall WSL.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any ideas on how to resolve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
