Docker Desktop for Windows crashes after upgrading to 4.24.1

[RMBloom]

Description

After upgrading to DfW 4.24.1 yesterday, and first real use after rebooting this morning, I found twice, so far, that Docker had crashed somewhat silently (there were popup error messages, but they opened behind other windows, so I did not see them right away).

The first indication of the error was when running docker ps, I received the response "request returned Internal Server Error for API route and version http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/json, check if the server supports the requested API version". Afterwards, I spotted the popup (but did not capture it); it indicated that Docker had exited unexpectedly.

The second time it occurred was when I also ran docker ps (after having restarted DfW, of course). This time, the message was "error during connect: this error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/json": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified."

I was able to capture the second popup error dialog (attached) which read:

Something went wrong

Starting WSL engine: starting WSL engine: 1 error occurred: * waiting for docker daemon: context deadline exceeded

I ran "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\com.docker.diagnose.exe" gather -upload as per the instructions in https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/overview/#diagnose-from-the-terminal, and the Diagnostics ID appears below.

I have not experienced this particular error with any prior DfW releases.

Reproduce

Run DfW 4.21.1 as normal.

Expected behavior

No crashes.

upgraded from 4.21.x to 4.24.1 this morning and observing the very same thing

just the error pop-up looks different - perhaps because its on Windows 11

output of docker version and docker info shows same things as above, only that mine is missing the "Server" part.

[HollisTech]

same here. Win 11, updated to 4.24.1 totally busted.

[rogersb-lavp]

Yes me too. had used Docker in May, went to setup and it installed this and this is the error I got also, rebooted, reinstalled, same. ran diagnostics and saw the link here in the instructions. hopefully theres a way to install an older version am using win10, 64bit, worked before. WSL error like in the capture.

hopefully theres a way to install an older version

downgrade is not supported, afaik.

if you can uninstall, older versions can be downloaded here https://docs.docker.com/desktop/release-notes/

(I do not dare to uninstall as i am afraid losing locally build images I put quite a lot worktime into and I understand the uninstall would wipe the local registry - totally trapped, I went back to Linux and podman)

4.24.2 (124339) appears to fix this issue

(while nothing is mentioned in the fixes bullet points - I dont know if a fix is in it of something else caused it and is now gone for whatever reason)

[rogersb-lavp]

Is this now in the current download? 124339 ? is it a downloadable patch?
