My fresh install of Windows 11 definitely didn't have Hyper-V active by default. It had to install it and reboot to activate the WSL2 subsystem.

Now, to be fair, this was an install from a couple major updates back. So newer builds might have it active by default.

It is on some hardware on latest feature updates.
