docker
docker engine stopped
Description
For the past week, my Docker has been down. I've tried purging all the data, reinstalling Docker, and reinstalling WSL, but nothing works. I'm on Windows 11, with the latest WSL and the latest version of Docker. When I switch to Windows containers, it works. However, in Linux containers, the engine just doesn't run or gets stuck on "engine starting" after a data purge. I've pretty much run out of ideas and tried everything I knew.
When I disable wsl2 and run through hyper v the docker engine starts right away
Reproduce
Install docker Launch docker Docker engine doesn't start

downgrading from the pre-release to latest version of wsl fixed the problem for me
Try this = Delete the .docker file and then restart docker desktop . you can find the .docker file mostly at C:/Yourname/ .

c:\Username does not exist, do you mean c:\Users\Username? Also, in that location there is only a .docker directory, not a file, is deleting that what fixed it for you?
Yes in c:\Users\Username you will find .docker directory . I deleted .docker directory and now i'm able to run my docker desktop.. it worked for me

- make sure virtualization active in bios
- enable virtualization in optional feature
- cmd -> ipconfig /flushdns cmd -> netsh winsock reset
- delete directory in C:\Users<username>\ .docker
- cmd -> wsl --list --verbose make sure you only see docker-desktop with state stopped and version 2
- cmd -> wsl --update cmd -> wsl --shutdown
- restart your pc and run docker desktop
that's it
Had this issue after updating to "Docker Desktop 4.39.0" with "Docker version 28.0.1, build 068a01e", and I had just updated wsl earlier. None of the proposed solutions here worked for me.
What ended up working was remembering that I had enabled WSL Integration for a distro in Docker Desktop settings, so I went ahead and ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in wsl and ensured running docker --version inside wsl reported the same version and build as running the command outside wsl.
The issue went away after that.
Not sure why yet, but I also had the same problem. It resolved itself when I just manually logged into the docker-desktop distro in WSL2, i.e.
wsl -d docker-desktop
After that, Docker Desktop unfroze, reported an error, then restarted fine. Prior to that it was just halted on a "Docker engine stopped" status with no end in sight. Also Docker Desktop 4.39.0 (184744) and same CLI version (Docker version 28.0.1, build 068a01e). Cannot upgrade yet as I don't have local admin rights on this particular machine.

It works for me too. Thank you!

This also works for me, although I don't know the reason. Thank you so much.

Install the latest version of wsl worked for me. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/download/2.6.0/wsl.2.6.0.0.x64.msi
