I had the same issue since a week and also Docker Desktop stopped working.

What do you get with wsl --list command?
I found out that i got this:

docker-desktop-data (Standard)
docker-desktop

I set the default distro with

wsl --setdefault docker-desktop

After this at least wsl worked again.
However Docker Desktop still did not start.
I uninstalled it and installed the latest version of Docker Desktop, than it worked again.

Thank you for trying to help.

With the wsl --list I got:

Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions: Ubuntu (Default)

Ubuntu is the distro I'd like to use, so I think it's everything OK there.
I've also uninstalled and re-installed the Ubuntu app from MS Store without any difference in the outcome. I also re-installed WSL too.

But again, whenever I run wsl I always get the errors:

`Processing fstab with mount -a failed.
Failed to mount C:, see dmesg for more details.
Failed to mount D:, see dmesg for more details.

<3>WSL (7) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:368: getpwuid(1000) failed 2
