I run Windows 11
and when I try to start Docker desktop app
it gives me the following error: Docker failed to initialize. Docker Desktop is shutting down.
I have tried several thing before posting this:
- Uninstalled
Docker desk app
and installed it again. - Uninstalled it, restarted the computer, updated
WSL 2
and installed the app again.
How can I fix it? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Go to C drive , Users, Select your user, App data, Roaming and then delete the Docker folder. You shall be able to start docker again.
I have encountered the same problem too and already try
many solution found on the internet.
I have found this issue and manually run C:Program FilesDockerDockerresourcescom.docker.backend.exe, then I got this error.
After removing ‘.docker/config.json’ in C:Users{YOUR_USERNAME} folder, everything works fine after restarting docker desktop.
Hope my answer help.
I’ve deleted %appdata%Docker and %appdata%Docker Desktop. After that everything is OK for me.
