Latest DD not starting on Windows 11

Docker Desktop
1

Moving to windows 11 (version 24H2).
I’m using wsl2 like so…

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl --status
Default Distribution: Ubuntu-24.04
Default Version: 2

The linux subsystem appears to be working as expected.
From the latest install image for Docker Desktop for windows (no idea what version as the installation page doesn’t even mention it).

run the installation and check the use wsl option…
Installation completes Click on the start icon, spins for second, dies, nothing… no message no nothing.

Where do I find a log for the startup process?

first time ever having an install issue with docker on any platform.

You can find logs in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Docker\log\ (you can paste this as in into the Windows explorer).

thanks, I figured out the problem.
I forgot to add my non-admin user to the docker user group on the system.
The joy of moving to a new system!
