Same problem for me Build 22000.258 now
________
I can't live without WSL and already made Windows 11 my home and I don't want to roll back.
I had an idea and I need some assistance, as I don't know where exactly Windows hides the setup files (or links) to get Virtual Machine Platform Feature / Hyper-V installed in the System, I've been searching and found the Packages folder under Windows/Servicing/ which holds some cat and mmu files for all the Windows features, most files are 1 to 3 KB and by opening them with notepad it is just some keys/tokens and links so I assume they all get downloaded and installed from Microsoft Servers, this screenshot shows the Virtual Machines Platform files as found in Windows 11 Build 22000.258 which according to the dates are mostly in September/October, when the issue starts to appear.
Okay, my idea would be to replace those files with Windows 10 files that runs okay with WSL (I mean without weird time changes). However I am not sure if that is the only spot where Windows features lie and maybe even there is an easier way by using some Powershell commands to get a previous build of the feature we know is working safe in Win 10. Well in any case, backuping those files is mandatory, who knows what could go wrong. If somebody is willing to take a bit of a risk and try it on Virtual Machine or some Expert could know more than I do... Seems like Microsoft is taking forever to release a fix for this issue, that it is not happening only in Windows 11 recent builds but also to some Windows 10 Insider Builds.
