Recommended action: Enable virtualization in BIOS/UEFI, enable Virtual Machine Platform/WSL features, ensure 'wsl' itself works; disable antivirus hardware-assisted virtualization (Avast: Settings > Troubleshooting) or add exclusions.
Option: Restore virtualization for WSL2 [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Hosts where wsl fails
Steps:
1. Enable VT-x/AMD-V in firmware
2. Enable Windows features: Virtual Machine Platform, WSL
3. Disable antivirus hardware-assisted virtualization
4. Verify with wsl --status, then start Docker Desktop
Expected: WSL VM starts; Docker Desktop runs
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
