Also experiencing this issue.. Docker desktop starts, then immediately displays a "stopping" message. Log shows

Usage: wsl.exe [Argument] [Options...] [CommandLine]



Arguments for running Linux binaries:



    If no command line is provided, wsl.exe launches the default shell.



    --exec, -e <CommandLine>

Whatever wsl command docker is trying to run has incorrect command line switches. A bunch more of these are in the log file:

wsl --update fixes the issue for me.
