Not able to run VMs on Hyper-V

See the image for error.

Virtualization is enabled in UEFI. I've run Hyper-V VMs on this install of Windows 10 before. Also, coreinfo64 reports that the processor does not support VT-x but it actually does. It is an Intel Core i5-6200U. WSL gives error 0x80370102 while installing a distro.

Check that virtualization is enabled in the computer bios for the processor. I would also double check your motherboard supports virtualization

It is enabled, I mentioned in the question. As I said I have run Hyper-V VMs before on this install of Windows.

I fixed this issue myself following these steps:

Open Windows Security.
Go to App & Browser Control.
Go to Exploit protection settings.
Go to Program settings.
Set C:\Windows\System32\vmcompute.exe and C:\Windows\System32\vmwp.exe to 0 system overrides.
Restart these processes.

Now I am able to run VMs in Hyper-V.
