Can you try running rdctl factory-reset and try launching Rancher Desktop again? If you run into the error again, Do you mind sharing the logs here? You can find the logs at %USERPROFILE%//AppData/Local/rancher-desktop/logs

Hello Gunamata,
Tried running command in the Command prompt . It executed successfully

@AL1071186 , Which version of Windows are you on? Have you checked if your machine meets the minimum requirements stated on this page?

Also, what do you see when you run the command wsl -l -v on this machine?

@gunamata
Now it completed building. I'm trying to use the build the container in the VS code. By following steps:
view -> command palette -> Dev container: Open folder in dev container.
But I'm seeing below error message:

Show log info:

Earlier we didn't see this issue with Rancher. The inbuilt docker of Rancher was working fine.

Can you please look on this?

I am getting the same error when I boot up my Windows machine and start up Rancher Desktop after logging in.

Error: wsl.exe exited with code 4294967295

OS: Windows 11 22H2 build 22621.2792
Rancher Desktop: 1.12.3 - win32 (x64)
WSL distributions: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Rancher Desktop configuration:
Container runtime: moby
Kubernetes: disabled
WSL integration: Before factory reset, enabled. After factory reset, disabled.

Running wsl -l -v gives the following:

NAME STATE VERSION

• Ubuntu Running 2
  rancher-desktop-data Stopped 2
  rancher-desktop Stopped 2

I am able to get it working in most cases by shutting down Rancher Desktop and restarting it.

I have also tried running rdctl factory-reset but it seems as though the problem still persists.

I also tried running wsl --update, only to get a response that I have the most recent version of WSL installed.
