A new version of Docker Desktop (4.5.1), released on 2022-02-15 fixes this problem.

If you are running Docker Desktop on Windows Home, installing 4.5.1 will switch it back to WSL 2 automatically. If you are running another version of Windows, and you want Docker Desktop to use the WSL 2 backend, you must manually switch by enabling the Use the WSL 2 based engine option in the Settings > General section. Alternatively, you can edit the Docker Desktop settings file located at %APPDATA%Dockersettings.json and manually switch the value of the wslEngineEnabled field to true.

Also had this issue on Mac (Intel chip) after updating to v4.5.0.

Reinstalling and a system restart solved the issue.

Same here with Docker Desktop 4.5.1 running on an Win 10 Pro Azure VM. On startup it says that WSL is missing, but then is stuck in Docker Desktop stopping state, which means that it is not possible to switch to Hyper-V backend.

Hi @Eugentis, If you want to switch to Hyper-V you can edit the $env:APPDATADockersettings.json file and set wslEngineEnabled to false.

We’re looking how we can improve the settings and unblock them for such tasks.

Thanks @StefanScherer

But disabling app settings is not the best solution in real world. It should be available independent on Docker engine status

Also having this issue, with same version of Docker on Win 10.

A solution that worked for me from the front-end: Go to docker desktop —> Troubleshoot —> Clean / Purge data —> click on wsl 2 and delete.

Once removed, the docker deamon restarted and it worked fine.

@ajay16bharadwaj it works if your dashboard is active
But Docker has some strange behaviour with it.If you started or stoped container all dashboard wil be disabled
As for me it is very strange approach

Facing same issue ..Any fix for this?

I have tried every thing still i am unable to open the docker it is stuck on docker desktop stopped…… Any help?

Try to update the WSL (.msi extension). after installing this app is working fine.

I have tried latest Docker 4.9.0, the key is

I tried all the stuff already posted above but all to no avail. I realized that each time I restarted the docker desktop app, a «WSL 2 Installation incomplete» pop-up message comes. I clicked the link and reinstalled the kernel update and it worked.

Faced the same problem. Restarted my pc and it started working.

Eu tentei o Docker mais recente 4.9.0, a chave é

Após executar esse comando e reiniciar a máquina, o docker desktop funcionou corretamente!

After running this command and restarting the machine, docker desktop worked correctly

Make sure after Docker For Desktop (Windows) installation thatWSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) is installed.
before your linux configuration machine, at powershell: wsl —set-default-version 2

It is solved my issue.

I am able to run Docker Desktop by following below steps.

1. Use WSL V2 to smoothly run Docker Desktop. To set default wsl version to v2, run wsl.exe --set-default-version 2

2. Install your Linux flavor. I tried with Ubuntu-18.04 by running command: wsl --install -d Ubuntu-18.04

3. Above command will install ubuntu with WSL V2, but to make sure you can run command: wsl.exe --set-version Ubuntu-18.04 2

4. To check the version of your installed linux flavor and respective wsl version: wsl.exe -l -v
   

5. Then freshly install Docker Desktop for Windows. It should start running within sometime.
   

Hi, I also ran into this problem, I don’t know exactly what happened, But I think it should be wsl that went wrong, because my wsl can’t be opened; After I referred to this answer, I did a reset of the network.

I executed the following two commands:

netsh int ip reset

netsh winsock reset

And restarted my computer,I can open my wsl now:

I have tried latest Docker 4.9.0, the key is

This work for me as well …
(update: after few restart I am still facing the problem)
temporary solution (which work for me)
Powershell

1. Force stop docker desktop (task manager)
2. Run wsl --shutdown in power shell
3. Start docker desktop again

I ran into this problem today.
This is really bad, I wish they can fix it soon.
Hardware: ASUS TUF DASH F15
Software: Windows 10 Home 21H2 (OS build: 19044.1826)
Docker Version: latest as of today ( I was not able to go to the settings page. It was running forever)

Here were the list of things I tried but didn’t work:

1. Uninstalled the current version and installed the latest on docker official website.
2. Go to Troubleshoot on docker desktop and click «Clean/Purge data» (click on wsl 2 and delete)
3. Go to Troubleshoot on docker desktop and click «Reset to factory defaults»
4. Edit the $env:APPDATADockersettings.json file and set wslEngineEnabled to false

At least point I found that my WSL was broken by trying to get Docker to work.
I was not able to try the solutions provided above that relates to running the wsl command.
Whenever I typed wsl, it was waiting forever on my terminal and nothing happened.

The fact that Docker destroyed my WSL really pissed me off because I relied on WSL to do all the source
control on my machine and interact with remote machines.

I tried all the stuff already posted above but all to no avail. I realized that each time I restarted the docker desktop app, a «WSL 2 Installation incomplete» pop-up message comes. I clicked the link and reinstalled the kernel update and it worked.

This issue will be resolved by modifying the settings.json file.
1- Path of the file: C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingDockersettings.json
2- Set «wslEngineEnabled»: false

Already did and still not working.

Try following.

1. If there is a VPN running, try disconnecting VPN and restart Docker Desktop.
2. Click on troubleshoot (bug) icon on the right top corner, perform a factory reset, and purge data.

To resolve this issue, as shown in dialog “Docker Desktop – Install WSL2 kernel update” we need to download from the reference link mentioned in dialog – https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel

Install the WSL2 kernel update then restart Docker. This should work

Image for reference

Either Docker or Windows should do something for this. None of the solution is working for me.

This worked for me.
Thank you, you saved my hours! 👍

I am experiencing the same issue and trying to resolve that issue as at the moment.

Deleting the data sets does not appear to work. Docker has been stuck in «Shutting Down», and cannot be quit. It has been showing this for over an hour:

Same issue here on Windows 11. It was working fine the whole day, and it suddenly crashed.

I tried the following:

• Reset networking (netsh int ip reset + netsh winsock reset)
• Updated WSL (wsl —update)
• Purge Data
• Upgraded to latest version

Before the upgrade, the application was stuck on «Stopping Docker».
After the upgrade, the application is stuck on «Docker Desktop Starting»

C:Usersusername>wsl.exe -l -v
  NAME      STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu    Running         2

Workaround:

• Completely uninstall Docker Desktop on Windows 11
• Opened a terminal with Linux subsystem (WSL), and installed Docker with the CLI (article) as I’m not using any Windows images.

Damn so many people out there are facing this issue.
I don’t know what is @docker or Windows(for WSL) doing about this.
I thought only Windows users are facing this but looks like we’ve got Mac as well.

Solution:
So I have almost tried all the above workarounds but what worked for me is I installed little older version of docker and then both WSL as well as Docker started working fine.
Hope it helps to everyone.

how long does it usually take to delete?

The solution is simple if you are on Windows 10/11 using «Dockers Desktop for Windows»

When Dockers Desktop for Windows installs it looks like it does not bother to check the OS being used and defaults to «Linux Containers». This fails on Windows 10 or 11 and causes the «Docker Is Starting» freeze. (I also saw numerous uncaught Promise errors in the docker logs related to this, too).

To fix this, simply go to your Notifications/System Tray area of Windows in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, click the dockers «whale» icon, and in the pop up context menu choose «Switch to Windows containers…». The Dockers software immediately resolves for Windows users and asks you to create a Dev Environment.

Docker Desktop 4.16.0

wsl -l -v showed docker-desktop stucked in installing state:

C:WINDOWSsystem32>wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Alpine                 Stopped         2
  docker-desktop-data    Stopped         2
  Ubuntu-22.04           Stopped         2
  docker-desktop         Installing      2

wsl --shutdown solved the issue for me.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe all you did here was tell it to ignore your problem with WSL. This doesn’t help fix the actual issue.
