Sorry for using the "Help request - CPU" flair, there are no other help request flairs that correspond to my question. I am trying to enable virtualization so that I can install WSL2 on Windows 10. My motherboard is a ASRock X670E Taichi. I've enabled SVM, but that didn't do it. Are there other crucial settings that I need to flip to enable virtualization on my PC? I just can't seem to get this to work. It's worked in the past but I'm not sure what combination of settings I need to flip in my BIOS now.
EDIT 1:
Before someone asks if I've enabled all the correct "Optional Features" within Windows, I have. Here's a screenshot:

EDIT 2:
Here is the error I'm getting when installing WSL2:

WSL2 is not supported with your current machine configuration. Please enable the "Virtual Machine Platform" optional component and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. Enable "Virtual Machine Platform" by running: wsl.exe --install --no-distribution For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization Error code: Wsl/InstallDistro/Service/RegisterDistro/CreateVm/HCS/HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED
I was really under the impression that SVM was the setting that enabled HYPERV virtualization. There has to be something else?
I would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks so much.
EDIT 3:
In task manager > Performance > CPU, "Virtualization" shows up as "Enabled".
