How to fix Gazebo black screen on launch?

Whenever I launch Gazebo, the application will launch but the center of the screen is only black. It came installed with ROS2 Humble and it didn't work out of the box. I am using Ubuntu WSL from the Microsoft webstore. My Gazebo version is version 11.10.2.

I have seen others have a fix for this issue but I have tried all of them and nothing has fixed the problem. Some of the fixes I have tried include:

And more I haven't thought of.

Things to note

I am following this tutorial and everything has been fine up until this point: https://youtu.be/IjFcr5r0nMs?t=144 I understand that the tutorial is using foxy and I have just changed the distros to "humble" but I am not sure if this is what could be causing the error.

I call Gazebo with the following command as per the tutorial:

ros2 launch gazebo_ros gazebo.launch.py

I don't know what else to do here. I am stuck and I can't progress any further in this. I am fairly new at this so I might be missing a simple oversight. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
