It feels to me it has a security issue. WLS is the process in windows replacement for control plane pods afaik
p
Hmm, you might be able to pull the command it's running from 
wsl.log
(in the Troubleshooting section in the main window there's a button to show the logs in Explorer) and try running it manually. (I have no idea what security issue comment is about… WSL is just helping to run a Linux VM.)
p
Do you have antivirus on the machine?
b
I'm experiencing this same issue. And, for whatever reason, RD also downloads a new Linux kernel despite already having WSL installed This is the output at install time of Rancher Desktop
And on launch of RD
Log shows

https://github.com/mohimali/wsl2-guide-windows-10#alternative-docker-via-rancher-desktop-open-source in case it helps i did write a guide for rancher here but not sure if your issue is slightly different
c
Hi everyone, I have solved the issue. Firstly, I set the default version of WSL to 2. It is like this --> wsl --set-default-version 2 Then, I removed Rancher. After restarting the computer, I installed Rancher with a different version of Kubernetes than I tried before. It suddenly worked!
