I’m getting the same error message in Windows 11.
Things I have attempted so far:
*Stop the Docker service and restart by launching Docker Desktop
*Turn off Control Flow Guard
*Uninstall Docker Desktop 4.17.0
*Reinstall with version 4.17.1
*Shutdown WSL
After doing all that, I’m able to start Docker Desktop successfully, but when I launch an Ubuntu 20.04 terminal and run:
sudo docker ps -a
Docker Desktop crashes with the same error @vcsajen gets:
Error details:
1 error occurred:
* starting WSL integration service: synchronising agents: starting added distros: 1 error occurred:
* waiting for WSL integration for Ubuntu-20.04: waiting for WSL distro integration to become ready in “Ubuntu-20.04”: timeout
