Hello @GhostlyNite10, can you delete C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\install-settings.json? It seems to be corrupted.

Okay. I was running the deployment from the administrator and that user had a different settings on their %appdata% . Also in my case, the file was a proper JSON but having a comma at the end of last key value pair.
