Common causes include access rights issues, which occur after waking the computer or not being connected to your domain/active directory.
Please try shutting WSL down (wsl --shutdown) and/or rebooting your computer. If not sufficient, WSL may need to be reinstalled fully. As a last resort, try to uninstall/reinstall Docker Desktop. If the issue persists please collect diagnostics and submit an issue (Troubleshoot Docker Desktop | Docker Docs).

I got the same problem while try to install docker desktop.
So in my case, I install docker and login while WSL is out of date then I follow the above comment

  1. enableing BIOS SVM mode ( gg your self :)) )
  2. restart and open docker, if it got that error “starting wsl engine 2 errors occurred . . .”
  3. open cmd admin and check wsl status:
    wsl --status
    you will see:
    Default Distribution: docker-desktop (in my case this is :docker-desktop-data)
    Default Version: 2
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
  1. open docker again.

hope that help .

if you are first time using docker in your machine, check your cpu vitual enviornment in your bios, you need to enable it

I’m solved with this :

I found the solution on a Chinese developer platform and it solved my problem:

  1. open CMD with “run as administrator”
  2. run the command netsh winsock reset
  3. restart the computer

Make sure that the hypervisor launch is enabled in your boot configuration. You can validate this by running (elevated powershell):
bcdedit /enum | findstr -i hypervisorlaunchtype+

If you see hypervisorlaunchtype Off , then the hypervisor is disabled. To enable it run in an elevated powershell:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto

Then restart the machine

I just did the wsl --unregister docker-desktop and this seems to solve the issue (at least at my end) , thx for this !
