If you aren't using kubernetes, you can turn that if in Rancher Desktop settings

Yes, I know that and have done so. Doesn't stop Rancher complaining about it. lima didn't start up anymore and all permission checking did not work. Had to completely reinstall

Are you running with a corporate firewall/VPN?

I was running version 1.7.0 without "firewall/VPN". I've decided to completely remove it as I cannot afford to spend hours on troubleshooting and reinstalling every couple of weeks/months. Unfortunately, this was the case for me. Thank you for your time and effort, anyways 🙏
