+          How to resolve `Error: 0x800704ec This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.`?
+        answer: |
+          This error is caused by a group policy blocking WSL. To resolve, first run the command `wsl --update` to update to the latest Store version. If that doesn't resolve the issue, contact your administrator.
