1MB of logs in 14 seconds!!!

Luckily, it has logs rotation. At the moment, it writes the 520th log file of 20MB, so it already wasted 10.5 GB of my SSD resource.

How to stop this?

When it comes to Windows, I am usually guessing as I am more familiar with Linux and recently macOS, but it looks like the docker proxy is constantly restarting.

There was a report about a similar issue before on GitHub

github.com/docker/for-win

After update to 4.8.1 the kubernetes starts fails

After updating to docker desktop 4.8.1 , the `kubernetes` starts fails.
