### Expected behavior
Docker for windows starts up
### Actual behavior
Dock… er crashes on startup, with error loading' Newtonsoft.Json, Version=8.0.0.0'
### Information
It seems that there is a conflict within docker about which version of Newtonsoft.JSON is required.
The default version of the JSON assembly is 9.0.1.19813. On startup i get an error indicating that docker can't find version 8.0.
I manually replaced the dll with veriosn 8.0.3.19514. The docker startup proceedes a bit further this time, but then i get an error indication that docker can't find Newtonsoft.JSON 9.0!
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Startup docker on windows
2. Get error loading ' Newtonsoft.Json, Version=8.0.0.0'
3. Replace JSON dll with verion 9
4. Startup docker
5. Get error loading ' Newtonsoft.Json, Version=9.0.0.0'
log files are attached indicating both errors.

I hoped you would understand it as I rarely use Windows and I never heard of Newtonsoft. Since the user talks about different Docker Desktop versions, I guess it could be Docker Desktop incorrectly uninstalled and some files were left on the filesystem. If this happened, you can check the documentation to learn about what files you need to remove when you uninstall Docker Desktop
