This may be the same as https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/13585#issuecomment-1674167909 (see image there). It may just be what docker tells you these days when the daemon has died.

You can try older versions. It seems to be the bug of the latest version, I don't exactly know the reason, but I installed an old version and figured it out.

I downgraded my Windows Docker Desktop to version 4.23.0, and this fixed the problem.

Previously I was using version 4.24.2

[bradenkwebb]

Bad practice, and it destroys everything running on your docker engine - but I finally just ran

docker kill *

Upon doing so, a docker prompt appeared asking if I wanted to reset docker to factory defaults. I did so, and everything seems to be working again.

Running Windows Docker Desktop version 4.25.1.

I've encountered this while doing experimental things with Vite. This fixes the issue for me.

1. Open Powershell as administrator

    wsl --shutdown

2. Docker will prompt for termination, allow it to terminate.
3. Restart Docker

[GloriaNeo]

Hi, I have the same issue.

Have tried the following:

• restart docker desktop (works temporarily, like for one docker command, then the same issue resurfaces)
• clean reinstallation
• wsl --shutdown

Nothing seems to be a proper solution that works for me. The same error still keeps appearing.

Anyone able to help?

[alankarjain05]

same for me as @GloriaNeo . Can someone help on this issue?

[eveforest]

@alankarjain05 @GloriaNeo i uninstall wsl2 and docker, and reinstall the latested version（docker desktop v4.31） , everything work fine.

wsl -l -v
wsl --unregister [your wsl disro]
