Option to enable wsl2 greyed out

Docker Desktop for Windows
#1

Hello,

I have Docker Desktop running on Windows, but now would like to enable the WSL2 functionality. I enabled support for experimental features, but the WSL2 checkbox is greyed out. Windows subsystem for Linux is installed, as are all necessary Hyper-V features.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,

Jörg

Did you follow the instructions, made wsl2 the default machine type, and installed a linux distro for wsl2?

Works like a charme with Edge 2.2.2.0 on Windows 10 Pro.

No… Somehow my searches did not get me to the best procedures; following your reply, I used different keywords and managed to find it…
Thanks!

Just for reference:

Hope this helps someone… :slight_smile:
