Cannot uninstall Docker Desktop 4.37.1

I launched my Docker Desktop and the UI did not show up. So, I try to uninstall Docker Desktop (v4.37.1) even by command but got this error.

Additionally, when I try to run it, Docker Desktop Backend runs and shows up in Task Manager. However, I can not end this task.

Pls, can someone help me cause I got stuck on this issue for several days?

You are the second user recently who has the ā€œdesktop-stageā€ url instead of the simple ā€œdesktopā€ in the logs.

Did you ever use a test release of Docker Desktop maybe after Docker shared an installer in their GitHub repo they made to fix an issue?

I have not use any test release. For the beginning, sometimes, it updated automatically. Perhaps somehow, this leads to problem?

I donā€™t think automatic update would be a problem, but the staging URL is not supposed to be in the default Docker Desktop release. It was confirmed by Docker as well, and they suggested it could happen when they share a patched release on GitHub before releasing a fix so users can try it.

Would you please open an issue on GitHub?

Also please, share the issue link here.

I donā€™t think that Iā€™ve downloaded any release at staging URL. Iā€™ve tried to download again at official page and re-install but got the same version.

Here is a new issue I have created on GitHub
