Fix the Error: 0x800701bc WSL 2 requires an update to its kernel component.

For those trying to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux for the first time, there are a lot of annoying problems to work through.

You have already enabled virtualization in the BIOS, you have already installed the necessary extreme features, and you have already managed to install the distribution. Then when you finally boot Ubuntu from the Start menu, you get another error message.

If all goes well, this is the last error to fix. Go to Download the Linux kernel update package and download the WSL update package from there.

Install the package and then you will finally be able to boot your chosen Linux distribution.
