Asked By TechSavvy123 On

I'm really struggling with Docker Desktop on WSL2. I've tried various solutions from forums and posts, but nothing seems to work. I really don't want to wipe my Windows install as a last resort. When trying to run Docker, I receive an error related to deploying WSL2 distributions. The command I'm using is `wsl.exe C:WindowsSystem32wsl.exe --mount --bare --vhd AppDataLocalDockerwsldiskdocker_data.vhdx:` and it's giving me an exit status of 0xffffffff. Plus, I'm getting a network error about the isocache not being found. Any guidance would be super appreciated!

It’s important to pinpoint when the error occurs. Are you attempting to run Docker commands or just trying to start Docker? If the latter, you might want to try re-initializing your Docker mounts with these commands: `wsl --unregister docker-desktop`, `wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data`, `wsl --shutdown`, and then just run `wsl`. It could help clear out any existing errors.

Have you checked if this is a new installation of Docker Desktop or an upgrade? If it’s a fresh install and there's no important data, I'd recommend resetting it, uninstalling, and even trying an older version of WSL for installation. Then you can update it after reinstalling. That might fix the issues you're facing.
