Docker Desktop - Unexpected WSL error

Docker Desktop
1 
deploying WSL2 distributions
ensuring data disk is available: exit code: 4294967295: running WSL command wsl.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsl.exe --mount --bare --vhd D:\Programs_x64\Docker\images\disk\docker_data.vhdx: Failed to attach disk '\\?\D:\Programs_x64\Docker\images\disk\docker_data.vhdx' to WSL2: Access is denied. 
Error code: Wsl/Service/AttachDisk/MountVhd/HCS/E_ACCESSDENIED
: exit status 0xffffffff
checking if isocache exists: CreateFile \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\isocache\: The network name cannot be found.

I can solve the issue by running wsl --unregister docker-desktop. But then when I shut down Docker Desktop and restart it, the error is there again.

When I run ‘wsl -l’, I see 2 distributions:

Ubuntu (Default)
docker-desktop
