Docker - Windows 10 - An unexpected error was encountered while executing a WSL command

Question

I'm getting the below error after installing a new version of Docker Desktop:

An unexpected error was encountered while executing a WSL command. Common causes include access rights issues, which occur after waking the computer or not being connected to your domain/active directory.
Please try shutting WSL down (wsl --shutdown) and/or rebooting your computer. If not sufficient, WSL may need to be reinstalled fully. As a last resort, try to uninstall/reinstall Docker Desktop. If the issue persists please collect diagnostics and submit an issue (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/overview/#diagnose-from-the-terminal).

Thanks in advance.
I am installing Docker Desktop in Windows 10.

That was the case I handled. You need to install Ubuntu Distribution and set it as default Distribution of Windows Subsystem.
