Windows 10 21H2 - WSL Ubuntu install never completing problem

[Gazb]

So I recently got a new work laptop, and I want to setup WSL on it so I can use Ubuntu for my Linux administration work.

Here's a brief over view of what I've done;

• Ran a prompt as Administrator,
• Ran wsl --install (this completed fine)
• Rebooted the laptop
• Ran wsl --update to ensure it was the latest version
• Then ran wsl --install Ubuntu
• Installation progress completes and then spawns an Ubuntu window.
• The Ubuntu window says: 'Installing, this may take a few minutes...'

And that's as far as I've ever gotten Ubuntu to go on this laptop. Nothing I've done, administrator or otherwise makes a difference, I've re-installed Ubuntu more times than I can remember at this point, it just won't go any further.
I've tried other suggestions I've seen such as Ctrl-C on that window to checking the Control Flow Guard security settings for vmcompute.exe but nothings worked so thought I'd throw the question out here to see if anyone's ever experienced this?
