'Docker Daemon not running on windows 11

I am a beginner into Docker stuff, I am on windows 11 and whenever I try to open docker desktop it doesn't open. enter image description here Always this error message shows up, also whenever I try to run docker ps or docker images or anything related to docker it always shows this error enter image description here can anyone help

I have turned on hyper-v, wsl etc but nothing seems to work



Solution 1:[1]

That is followed by docker/for-win issue 12413, and this question (which suggests a fresh installation of Windows 11 itself!)

Only workaround so far (to avoid reinstalling W11):

I tried reinstalling a couple times and different versions and nothing worked, the UI would just never show up.

The only solution really was to delete C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Docker and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Docker Desktop.
