Just dropping a note here, the latest windows update temporarily broke my rancher desktop. RD was stuck on waiting for kubernetes, and the diagnostic scan wasn't detecting any issues. I did a factory reset, but no luck. I ended up needing to run

wsl.exe --update

in powershell. That made RD start successfully, but

docker ps

didn't show any workloads in wsl. Next I did a factory reset of RD, then re-enabled the ubuntu distro, and things were working again.
