[Store APP] Check/Install Virtual Machine platform

[nunix]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After a clean Windows 11 install, I tried to install "only" the Windows Subsystem for Linux store app.
While the installation worked perfectly, once I installed a distro, also from the store, then I got the error that a feature was missing.

Running wsl --status confirms the feature missing:

Describe the solution you'd like
When installing WSL from the Store App, it leverages the wsl --install command for checking and installing the Virtual Machine Platform feature if not installed.
This will enhance the end-user experience by handling the WSL install entirely.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried running afterwards wsl install, and as the Store app takes precedence, then I got the same error:

Finally, the solution is to enable "manually" the feature, either via the UI or with Powershell

Additional context
As stated above, this feature will help more the fresh installs.

Thanks a lot for your support.

The Store version of WSL already has --install option. You have to just type it.

thanks @Biswa96 but that's what I did on the second screenshot 😉

The original wsl --install installs, what I call, the whole package, which the store version doesn't.

When you open the WSL app directly , and enter a command in the terminal, does the terminal immediately close when you hit enter? I am not referring to using WSL commands in Powershell, I am specifically talking about using the WSL app.
