Thanks for reporting this.

It looks like the docker-desktop WSL2 distribution got itself in a undefined state.

While we look more into the issue, you can remediate by doing from the command line:

> wsl.exe --unregister docker-desktop

(note: this is docker-desktop and not docker-desktop-data. Unregistering docker-desktop-data would cause data loss).

@andrea-reale Hi! I've run in the same issue. I've try to fix it with reinstall v 4.31.1 but it isn't helps. My job is paralized. Where I can download previous version?

docker login

I have the same same problem too

I am also getting a similar error, when I try launching docker i get this error

additionally I tried to manually asses the problem and it says: Please investigate the following 1 issue:

1 : The test: are WSL distros installed? Failed with: WSL Distribution docker-desktop is missing

however I have wsl downloaded: wsl --version WSL version: 2.2.4.0 Kernel version: 5.15.153.1-2 WSLg version: 1.0.61 MSRDC version: 1.2.5326 Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511 DXCore version: 10.0.26091.1-240325-1447.ge-release Windows version: 10.0.22621.3737

Hi @diyagangwar-dell ,

sorry for the bad experience you are having. As it seems that automatic collection of diangostics does not work, I would really appreciate if you could manually make a zip of the %LOCALAPPDATA/Docker/log (this usually is C: Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Docker\log) folder and upload it to this ticket, so we can take a better look at what is going on. Thank you

شكرا للإبلاغ عن هذا.

يبدو أن توزيع WSL2 لسطح المكتب قد وصل إلى حالة غير محددة.

بينما ننظر أكثر في هذه المشكلة، يمكنك علاجها عن طريق القيام بذلك من سطر الأوامر:

> wsl.exe --unregister docker-desktop

(note: هذا هو docker-desktop و لا دوكر-سطح المكتب-البيانات. إلغاء التسجيل docker-desktop-data من شأنه أن يسبب فقدان البيانات).

how can solve that
PS C:\Windows\system32> wsl.exe --unregister docker-desktop Unregistering. There is no distribution with the supplied name. Error code: Wsl/Service/WSL_E_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND
