Docker Desktop keeps Windows 11 workstation awake

Docker Desktop for Windows

I’m running Docker Desktop on Windows 11 Developer Preview, Build 25163. While Docker Desktop is running, my displays / screens will not go to sleep, and the computer will not go to sleep either. If I shutdown Docker Desktop, then my system goes to sleep and the screens / displays will shut off, according to my power plan as well.

Is there a way to run Docker Desktop without having it keep my system awake, against my wishes?

I have not noticed any issue with that, but I have a stable Windows version and I don’t use that often. Can you try it on a stable version?

That would take me a lot of effort to reinstall everything onto a new version of Windows. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s an option for me, in the short term.
