Description
Version
win 11 [ version 10.0.22621.674 ]
WSL Version
- WSL 2
- WSL 1
Kernel Version
5.15.68.1
Distro Version
Archlinux
Other Software
Docker Desktop 4.13.1 (90346)
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)
