Kubernetes failed to start Windows 11

Docker Desktop

hello. I found a number of posts including this post Kubernetes failed to start docker desktop win 10 - Docker Desktop for Windows - Docker Community Forums and wasn’t able to get as far. I tried restarting docker desktop, clicking clean/purge data, clicking reset kubernetes cluster, all to no avail. When running kubectl get pod --all-namespaces it says:

The connection to the server kubernetes.docker.internal:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

It’s either stuck on either Kubernetes starting or Kubernetes failed to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Since I had much more instructions in the other topic and I would not like to repeat myself, please, share what more you tried from what I suggested and what your result was. Since kubernetes runs containers, you could check the container logs. I described in the other topic how you can do that.
