I would dig into the logs and see if there are specific errors as not much to go on there

Thank you for the reply! I admit I am very new to this, in the logs there are many files and I'm not really certain what I am looking for. If it helps others help me I'm totally down to create a archive of the logs or post them here! ATM I saw a few things but uncertain what matters/doesn't. 1: rancher-desktop-guestagent.log 2024/10/23 082309 [DEBUG] kubernetes: failed to read kubeconfig [config-path=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml][error=could not load Kubernetes client config from /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: stat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: no such file or directory] 2024/10/23 082310 [DEBUG] kubernetes: failed to read kubeconfig [error=could not load Kubernetes client config from /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: stat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: no such file or directory][config-path=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml] 2024/10/23 082311 [DEBUG] kubernetes: failed to read kubeconfig [config-path=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml][error=could not load Kubernetes client config from /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: stat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: no such file or directory] 2024/10/23 082312 [DEBUG] kubernetes: failed to read kubeconfig [config-path=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml][error=could not load Kubernetes client config from /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: stat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: no such file or directory] 2024/10/23 082313 [DEBUG] kubernetes: failed to read kubeconfig [config-path=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml][error=could not load Kubernetes client config from /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: stat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml: no such file or directory] 2: wsl-exec.log * /etc/fstab does not exist Service `hwdrivers' needs non existent service `dev' * Caching service dependencies ...

did you run RD as admin since it was installed requiring Admin?

Oh! I am a fool! Thank you, I just tried restarting it with admin and it now is opening. Although it is providing a new error

might do a factory reset in troubleshooting and see if things get back in order. don't know if you have a half configured environment

Thank you! I just did a factory reset. Unfortunately I am encountering this error when I reopened it after the factory reset.

maybe a WSL version issue? just seems like your environment is in pretty rough shape. the data distro looks to be missing etc. maybe completely uninstall, make sure the distros are cleaned up, and then reinstall.

Sounds good, I'll try and reinstall rq!
