Enabling WSL on my XPS 7590 causes my laptop to show blue screen

XPS 15 7590

The stop code is INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Now my XPS won't boot up!

Is this a BIOS issue?

This is only a BIOS issue if you made changes to the BIOS such as switching from RAID to AHCI or vice versa. Linux has a propensity of changing boot options and disabling Windows boot. Check the BIOS boot list and confirm that Windows Boot Manager is first in the list unless of course you installed Linux on the Windows partition. In which case you will probably have to clean install Windows. This page at Tom's Hardware should be of help. I realize this is the Windows Subsystem for Linux but I have seen very strange results once Linux is enabled on systems.

This page at Howtogeek may help as well.

I just used the default settings. I don't have standard alone Linux installed, just Windows 11.

Saw in another thread on this site. I turned off Security Boot. The annoying blue screen went away.

Happy to hear it, Secure Boot can be troublesome at times. Glad to be of some help.
