WSL distro integration broken with latest ver 4.50.0 #14979
Description
Description
Just updated to the latest v4.50.0 for Docker Desktop for Windows and rebooted my PC. Am now consistently getting this error:
running wsl distro proxy in ubu2404 distro: running proxy: running wslexec: An error occurred while running the command. DockerDesktop/Wsl/ExecError: c:\windows\system32\wsl.exe -d ubu2404 -u root -e /mnt/<host>/wsl/docker-desktop/docker-desktop-user-distro proxy --distro-name ubu2404 --docker-desktop-root /mnt/<host>/wsl/docker-desktop c:\program files\docker\docker\resources: exit status 1 (stderr: , wslErrorCode: DockerDesktop/Wsl/ExecError)
ubu2404 is as the name implies a WSL distro running Ubuntu 24.04, my main distro. It seems to be running normally, but complains about not being able to start docker, as expected.
I haven't messed with any other software before or after updating Docker Desktop.
Reproduce
No steps really, just happens automatically when Docker Desktop starts up after a reboot. Doesn't matter how many times I restart the integration process, it fails consistently.
Expected behavior
