Docker "Something Went Wrong" when starting

After installing Docker Desktop on Windows 11, it works fine for a couple of sessions but after a couple of days it shows this error when starting:

Something went wrong

Creating "rootNode" subnodes: constructing "BackendServices" in
"rootNode": doing migrations: migrating settings.json: type mismatch
for key wslEngineEnabled – missing a migration step : string != bool

I have WSL enabled in the Resources/WSL integration settings

    I've solved it by modifying C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Roaming/Docker/settings.json

    For some reason, it autofills the key "wslEngineEnabled": "false". Not only was it set to false, but also wrote as a string instead of bool. As I said, this happened by default, without me having even opened the file.

    Fixed it to "wslEngineEnabled": true
