Hi Team I was using rancher desktop on windows, today I have updated my wsl, and now when I try to execute the the docker commands I am getting:

Copy code

'docker' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Previously I was running all the docker commands on windows powershell and now it is not working

in the diagnostics area of rancher desktop does it flag anything? likely something updated your PATH so the .rd/bin folder was removed

@wide-mechanic-33041 There is no

~/.rd/bin

on Windows; the installer puts the resources directory inside the app at the end of the PATH automatically. I have no idea how that could have been dropped, but there is no in-app way to restore it currently (and there are no PATH related diagnostics on Windows either). I think it should work more like the other platforms in the future, but this is how it currently works.

Yeah just a force of habit jumping back and forth between platforms. The %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Rancher… could be added back into the PATH w/o too much heartache as a User variable so its a pretty easy fix for folks. Plenty of apps adjust PATH on install so I run into folks with a missing or misconfigured (looking at you JDKs breaking kerberos) PATHs pretty frequently.
