Hi all, I am trying to make a fresh start but Rancher-Desktop is not working and gives WSL error. Anyone to help me? The error is : Error: wsl.exe exited with code 4294967295

It feels to me it has a security issue. WLS is the process in windows replacement for control plane pods afaik

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.)

Do you have antivirus on the machine?

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

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!
