Repro Steps

with Upgrade win11 22h2 updates. and upgrade wsl2 to microsoft app store version. open Docker Desktop

Expected Behavior

no error dialog appears

Actual Behavior

when docker destop open, it causes 3 such error dialog. (sorry my system is in Chinese, and i don't want to change system language to reproduce so i screenshot the chinese dialog), which said

the connection info of this resource is invalid
refresh the workspace, then retry. if problems sustained, reach for tech supports..

and this dialog is coming from msrdc.exe . that's all i know.

acutally this dialog doesn't affect docker-desktop, it still works normally (in windows & wsl2) . but the dialog cannot be closed ( once close one dialog, another same dialog would appear directly)
after close the docker desktop. the dialog can be closed normally. so i believe it is related to docker desktop. while docker desktop doesn't show any error message(maybe i didn't find). and also this dialog doesn't contain any useful info. (i don't know what connection is nor error codes)

Research direction
