WSL 2 not starting up in Docker Desktop

Every time I open docker I get the exit status 0xffffffff. I can’t find any solutions which have worked for me and do not know what to do.

Are you running Docker Desktop or WSL? How did you install Docker?

I’m running Docker Desktop, I installed it through the Docker website Windows ARM64, whenever I start it up it says that WSL 2 failed to start.

Do you actually have a Windows machine with an ARM cpu?

Uh, honestly not sure, I’m kinda new to all of this, how do I check?

I think you would know about an ARM CPU as the amd64 is still more popular so try the other installer first. If that doesn’t work either, you can investigate further.

You could also search for “windows check cpu architecture” on a search engine. I found this

Oh, sorry, I figured out I was using AMD, I thought I was using ARM since thats what I downloaded before but ARM doesn’t even let me download it, so I am using AMD but the issue still persists.

And where do you get the error message? Do you have a window that opens?

Also have you installed the requirements?

I figured it out, my virtualization wasn’t on and neither was my wsl, thanks for sending the requirements link helped a bunch!
