This is not related to Intel, I frequently have the same issue on an Apple M1 Max MacbookPro. I already reset around 10 times, it works for some time, and then suddenly it stops working. restart doesnt help, only factory reset works.

Have exactly the same issue today. Weird thing is that it was working correctly yesterday. I am using Intel chip on Docker version 24.0.2, build cb74dfc

EDIT: Fixed by uninstalling and installing new version of docker

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

My docker is pretty unusable due to this, I get this nearly every day and I have to factory reset docker all the time...
