Waiting for docker API: context deadline exceeded, after update of docker desktop for windows

[FMKerckhof]

Description

I had a nicely running docker desktop installation, with a few images and containers (also devcontainers) - all was running fine until I upgraded docker desktop. I am running Win10 pro for Workstations 22H2 OS build 19045.5131 with WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).

After the upgrade I received an error message as detailed below:

running engine: waiting for the Docker API: context deadline exceeded

Diagnostics ID: A7818508-28B1-4071-A489-2FF4870EB684/20241205081236

Reproduce

• Upgrade docker desktop to latest
• Receive error message upon restart

Expected behavior

• An update should work seamlessly and not deliver such unexpected errors
