I had the same problem. If you are using docker 4.5.0, try uninstall and install 4.4.4 instead. That worked for me.

Your perspective belongs here.

For me restarting docker from the taskbar tray fixed the issue.

In my case I had to install the linux kernel. Make sure you have installed at least a distribution from Microsoft store
