It is not visible in windows features at all, it is not on the list.

Using command Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux I get:

WSL doesn't work on GamerOS. Required components RPC Locator and Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) are missing.
Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800706d9
Error: 0x800706d9 There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.

Press any key to continue...

Open the preset in Notepad, and remove both lines:
Code:
                <c>rpclocator 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator'</c>
                <c>sharedaccess 'Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)'</c>

Load the preset. To save yourself the step of running DISM /Enable-Feature, check WSL and VirtualMachinePlatform under Features.
Store is removed, you will need to restore it to search for Linux distros, or download the appxbundles yourself.

Install the modded GamerOS.
Download and run wsl_update_x64.msi.
Download and open CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_2004.2021.825.0.AppxBundle (or another distro), in File Explorer.

Open the preset in Notepad, and remove this line:
Code:
<c>Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI 'Xbox Game UI'</c>

I don't recommend using DX9 web installers, you should try the offline installer. It takes up more disk space, but you don't worry about MS removing/changing the download content.

What do you think about create a link to show an FAQ, so for the new users, we just send the link and them they got all the answers
 
Do you want to volunteer? I only answer Windows questions, I don't use GamerOS profile or own any of those games -- someone who actually games should represent the community. But if the FAQ is updated, we can link it to this thread.

I just create a project in GitHub, you can check it out. I will update with the questions and answer in a bit.
 
Here's the basic set of common questions:
- Does it work on W11?​
- How do I add Store / Microsoft Account?​
- How do I add Bluetooth support?​
- How do I add WiFi profile?​
- Why do I need WMP or Edge (Legacy) for compatibility reasons?​

Then you can include top games, like Forza, Fortnite, etc. with previously resolved issues (3D audio, Text-to-Speech).
 
I make some updates to the Wiki in the project, make sure you check it out garlin
I also put some additional informations, based on the replies in this thread.
 
Is anyone able to Play Halo Infinite with GamerOS? The game tells me that I am offline despite being connected to the network. Perhaps GamerOS is manually blocking MS servers?
 
Halo Infinite from Microsoft Store or Steam?

Restore Passport (Microsoft Account) and UPnP components if they're removed in your preset.
<c>passport 'Microsoft Passport'</c>
<c>upnp 'UPnP Device Host'</c>

I use the Steam version of Halo Infinite. My network status in windows says "no internet access", is that the expected behavior?
I am applying GamerOS over LTSC 2021 if that matters at all.
 
I don't recall offhand if LTSC includes UPnP support or not. Load up a clean ISO, and search in Components for UPnP. If it exists on a clean image, then remove that line from the preset, and make another image.

Maybe I'll look at it later (past midnight for me).

I know Halo Infinite Runs on LTSC as that is what I have been playing the game on, so all the necessary components are there. I'll add back in the two items you noted and let you know if resolves the issue.

Thanks, the issue is 100% related to MS server connectivity. Xbox Networking says MS servers are blocked. Also I am unable to connect to MS activation servers to validate my copy of LTSC.

Update: After reboot server connectivity is working as it should. I am able to load into Halo Infinite the issue is just that in game sounds are not resolving correctly. All my sounds are working but bullet sounds of other players are not working it sounds like they are muffled.

Okay so I did a reinstall to try to resolve my audio isssues and I am back at square one. After reinstalling I again can no longer connect to MS servers. Network Adapter still says that I am offline, I have no server connectivity under xbox networking, and when loading up Halo infinite the game tells me that I am offline.

I am not sure why I was magically able to connect to MS servers last time but not after reinstall...this is driving me insane.
