Hello,
YES this is another beginner.
I'm trying to install Win-Kex on a Windows 11 computer.
I follow the Kali instructions on the page
https://www.kali.org/docs/wsl/win-kex/
I open Open PowerShell as administrator and run:
C:\> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
Then I get the message:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature: Class not registered
Is this OK so I can restart my computer for the next step or do I have to do something so that I do not get this message?
Grateful for help:-)

Instead of doing this from PowerShell, click the windows button and search for "Turn Windows Features On or Off", then hit enter. A dialog with options for windows features will open up. Select both "Virtual Machine Platform" and "Windows Subsystem for Linux". You can skip using that command.
