Kubernetes stuck in "starting" status

I have Docker desktop on winn 10 64, kubernetes enabled but it is stuck in “Kubernetes starting” whereas I see all containers/pods are started

I switched to terminal and issued

kubectl get pods -A

I get

It seems that there is an issue with the kubernetes certifciate , I updated DD from 4.48 to 4.54 but it did not help

After upgrading to 4.54, did you reinstall Kubernetes? If there was a bug in previous versions in creating the cluster, you may need to recreate it.

How I can reinstall kubernetes? I thought update docker desktop updates kubernetes as well? no?

@rimelek, after responding to you, I did a reset in kubernetes, all of a udden kubenetes entered running state
