This helped me, too.

Awesome! It worked for me too. A little tip for people who didn’t know about PowerShell (or CMD), like me:

First, navigate to C:\ProgramData by typing:

cd C:\ProgramData

Then, delete the DockerDesktop folder by typing:

del C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop

CMD will ask if you’re sure — just type Y and press Enter.

Finally, create a new folder with the command:

mkdir DockerDesktop

Here is the GitHub issue:

It looks like the fix will make it into soon to be released v4.72.
