Kubernetes stuck at 'Starting' with Docker Desktop on Windows 10


This looks like a common issue reported here or here, which occurs also on MacOS. As per this comment, apart from deleting pki, you should also remove .kube directory and restart Docker:

I have workarounded as:

rm -rf ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/pki/rm -rf ~/.kube

And restarting docker

As mentioned in this comment, the respective directory on Windows can be found in:

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Docker

If none of the above helps, as the last resort solution you may try to completely re-install your Docker Desktop as there might be some remnants of the previous installation causing the issue. Compare with this comment.
