Do you have a VPN or fancy firewall?
One of the bugs homepath vs userprofile looks like it was fixed in 1.1, but the others, I'm less certain of

Hello Josh, Thanks for responding. I looked at both articles. For the second article my %USERPROFILE% is different to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. However, I am using the lastest version of rancher desktop 1.7. The issue mentions that should be resolved in the next release. There is not really an answer for the first one. I have tried both moby and containerd. It seems like with Moby I get an additional error if I try running docker ps I get docker ps error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/json": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. vs when I use containerd
nerdctl ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

Are you able to create a local account where the two things aren't different, just for testing purposes?

Unfortunately I don' t have permissions to do that for the laptop. I can try to turn on additional logging. Here is what I see in the background.log file 2022-12-20T00:32:00.770Z: Kubernetes was unable to start: Error: No active cluster! at KubeConfig.makeApiClient (C:\Program Files\Rancher Desktop\resources\app.asar\node_modules\@kubernetes\client-node\dist\config.js:283:19) at new yr (C:\Program Files\Rancher Desktop\resources\app.asar\dist\app\background.js:19:264834) at Br.start (C:\Program Files\Rancher Desktop\resources\app.asar\dist\app\background.js:31:31705) 2022-12-20T00:32:01.787Z: openDialog() id: KubernetesError 2022-12-20T00:32:01.793Z: createWindow() name: KubernetesError url: app://./index.html#KubernetesError 2022-12-20T00:32:02.123Z: ipcMain: "k8s-state" triggered with arguments: 2022-12-20T00:32:02.157Z: ipcMain: "get-app-version" triggered with arguments: 2022-12-20T00:32:18.694Z: ipcMain: "show-logs" triggered with arguments: 2022-12-20T00:38:34.753Z: ipcMain: "show-logs" triggered with arguments:

Sorry, I'm the network admin for our org and our devs run macOS/Linux, and I don't enforce annoying roaming policies on my Windows users 🙂

If I were in your shoes, I'd run the electron app in debug mode and then ask it questions

But, I've spent a lot of years working on web browsers and fighting electron apps. Not sure if it's something you'd want to do just for this adventure

I don't mind. I've done some nodejs so I could look at that.
