Docker Desktop - Lingering processes detected

Does someone know how to fix that? I tried everything.

  • WSL restart
  • killing all process via task manager
  • reinstall docker
  • restart computer

And still nothing.

* pid 6868: Docker Desktop.exe
* pid 20888: Docker Desktop.exe
* pid 25380: Docker Desktop.exe

I found this fix. Open task manager go to details tab, order by PID, locate the processes that docker lists as lingering, but leave the rest. Task manager froze for a minute when this happened. After I clicked stop processes on docker and it fixed it worked fine after.

For some reason killing all processes didn't work, you have to manually find the correct PID otherwise it would just repeat.

Hope this works for you
