Have you followed the link and checked that virtualization is enabled?
Seems to redirect here now:

If your not sure what a BIOS is or how to access it, have a look here for help;

just enable virtualization and hyper-v

is it essential to enable hyper-v to use wsl 2?

That is why it is the first thing mentioned in the official WSL guide.

For Kali Linux in WSL, just enable the WSL setting in Turn Windows features on and off and go to Microsoft Store to install Kali Linux. You are only allowed to use the terminal if you installed Kali like that, and there won’t be a GUI or Desktop.

Also why did you enable WSL2? Just enabling the default is enough. You do not need to turn on VT or Virtual Machine Platform to install Kali WSL. You only turn on virtualization if you want to turn on Hyper-V or something. But to do that you need to check if your computer is able to run Hyper-V or not.

Which processor do you have because with some the Linux is not working even in WSL.

go to windows feature to enable Virtual Machine and restart your computer and go to BIOS setup and enable Virtualization. than check it.
