Docker error : The network name cannot be found.

 If u get this error

deploying WSL2 distributions ensuring main distro is deployed: checking if main distro is up to date: checking main distro bootstrap version: getting main distro bootstrap version: open \\wsl$\docker-desktop\etc\wsl_bootstrap_version: The network name cannot be found. checking if isocache exists: CreateFile \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\isocache\: The network name cannot be found.

 

Try the following to troubleshoot:

1. Stop Docker Desktop
2. Run the following command in your terminal wsl --unregister docker-desktop
3. Run Docker Desktop again (Will recreate the distro)

Note: I also start my Docker Desktop as Administrator each time, so you probably need to run your terminal/Powershell as Administrator like I did.
