I don't know if this was still the same issue, but with Docker Desktop 4.15.0 I had the same issue. I could solve it by uninstalling Docker Desktop and install it with backend=windows again. With this command Dockers Desktop default container will be windows but you are possible to use Linux container as well.

Start-Process 'Docker Desktop Installer.exe' -Wait "install --backend=windows"

I downloaded the Installer here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
