I've been trying to set up Docker to follow along with a PostgreSQL book, but I keep running into this frustrating 'WSL is not updated' error. I've done everything I can think of: uninstalling and reinstalling WSL, updating it, turning WSL and Hyper-V features on and off, you name it! I even tried older versions of Docker, but they just give me a different error saying there's an 'unexpected WSL error.' I'm really at my wits' end here. Can anyone offer some solid advice? I'm about to lose my mind!

Just a heads up, if you're using Docker Desktop, make sure that the app is currently running when you're trying to access it via the command line. It might be throwing that error since the engine isn't active.
First, can you clarify where exactly you're seeing that error message? Is it popping up in the WSL terminal, during the Docker Desktop installation, or when you're trying to run it? It could help pinpoint the issue.
I see it after I open the Docker Desktop app—it says the engine stopped and then shows that error.
