Is it Possible to Run WSL2 and Oracle VirtualBox? #4174

Description

@toml12953

Please fill out the below information:

  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Version 1903 OS Build 18917.1000

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste the full set of specific command-line steps necessary to reproduce the behavior, and their output. Include screen shots if that helps demonstrate the problem.)

In order to run Oracle VirtualBox, I have to turn off virtual services:
bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype off

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    Now when I try to start WSL2, the window flashes open and immediately closes.

If I try to run WSL from a CMD prompt I get
Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature.

I have Windows Hypervisor Platform and Virtual Machine Platform checked in Windows Features.

Is there a way to run both WSL2 and VirtualBox? I had no trouble with WSL1.
