Hi,

I'm also observing the same error:

For those who need to get Docker working; rollbacking to 4.35.1 (release page) works:

# install pending WSL updates with
wsl.exe --update
# install the previous version of Docker for Windows with:
.\<installer path>.exe install --disable-version-check

You will need to rebuild all images and containers, or at least that's what I did.
For me, the WSL update changed the error from a generic one to more than one sd* disk in /sys/block with wwid ending by ....

This seems a fix to get 4.36.0 working: #14447 (comment)

[griesi007]

same issue for me #14445

[rupasix]

I have same issue, screenshot from error:

After that i checked with command "lsblk" if there is sde block and there was none:

[lerouxm]

Same issue here with an up to date wsl.
I can confirm that rolling back to previous 3.5.1 fixed the problem for me for now.

[dev-mich]

I had the same issue, but completely uninstalling and reinstalling resolved it for me.

[bastian-kurz]

I had the same issue. I solved it by going to 'Troubleshoot,' then clicking on 'Clean/Purge Data,' and selecting 'Hyper-V & WSL2.

after that Docker Engine starts again.

[andrea-reale]

Hello everyone,

thanks for reporting the problem. Could you please share the output of wsl --list?

From the diagnostics kindly shared by @chris-riddell35 , it looks like WSL2 is in a state where it believes there are two disks with the same identifiers, which makes Docker Desktop boot fail.

Could you please confirm if shutting down WSL after quitting Docker Desktop (wsl.exe --shutdown) helps fixing the issue or not? (Alternative a Windows restart should also be equivalent)

[chris-riddell35]

Hi @andrea-reale ,

I've done several Windows restarts, with the same result each time.

Here's the output of wsl --list:

wsl --list -v
  NAME              STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu-20.04      Running         2
  Ubuntu            Stopped         1
  Ubuntu-24.04      Stopped         2
  docker-desktop    Stopped         2

[andrea-reale]

Hey @chris-riddell35 ,

thanks for your quick response and for confirming. I am having a hard time to try and reproduce the issue.
However, I will be shortly sharing a development build of Docker Desktop with a tentative fix.

I'd sincerely appreciate if you could help us by trying it out and confirm if it addresses the problem or not. If it does, I'll try to get it included in the upcoming 4.37 release.

[andrea-reale]

@chris-riddell35, all: as promised here's a development build of Docker Desktop 4.36 that should includes a fix for the issue: installer for windows x86.

Please, let me know if that helps with the more than one sd* disk error discussed in this ticket, and feel free to provide any further feedback (make sure to share diagnostics in case you stumble into different errors).

Note that being a development build, the installer is unsigned and you'll need to tell Windows you trust it, before it will let you run it. You can do so by right-clicking on the file -> Properties -> Unblock.

[thomaswiradikusuma]

I had exactly this error as well, right after upgrading. It disappears after few times open-crash-close-open-crash-close-open :)

[Cristy94]

I have the same issue with 4.36.0, it suddenly stopped working.
