Detected appx version: 2.1.5.0

I might add that I have uninstalled and installed again WSL, and the distributions, multiple times. Hvae enabled and disabled the Virtual Machine Platform, the WSL from optional features and Hyper-V.

I tried importing a backup I had of my docker-desktop distro and although it did register the ditro it doesn't let me boot it up.

Adding the logs of that

It seems this was caused by an unrelated problem.

My sys admin had changed a company wide policy that dissallowed me from installing drivers and this messed up the installation of drivers for the Hyper-V devices necessary for the Virtual Machine Platform to work. I asked this policy to be modified and next time I tried to boot the docker-desktop distribution it went without issue.

I'm closing this since my problem is solved.
