ViewsDocker VS Code WSL 2 exception
I recently added the Docker extension onto VS code. Then I downloaded Docker, after installation I received this exception:
.NET Framework Error- Unhandled exception- exception type 'Docker.ApiServices.WSL2.WslKernel`
I'm not quite sure where to proceed from here.

I had the same exception and command:
wsl --set-default-version 2
returned message:
An update to the WSL 2 kernel component is required. For information, visit the https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel website. (This is not original message, I've translated it from my native language.)
When I've followed link and installed kernel update docker starts working.

I believe Docker is trying to run on Windows WSL framework/feature. Please make sure you've turned it on.
How to do that?
- In windows search type - turn windows features on or off
- Make sure you've the option - Windows subsystem for Linux selected there, if it isn't, select it and click okay.
- It'll install WSL on your system & tell you to restart, after system restart your docker will run properly!
- As a bonus, run powershell with administrative privileges & run this command
wsl --set-default-version 2, this will make your system switch to latest version of WSL with added benefits.
If this answer helps, let me know, or I can go in further details.
