Cannot Start Docker - Windows 10

[origfla]

Description

I just did a fresh install of the latest Docker (4.39.0) on Windows 10. BIOS is correctly configured, WSL properly set up, etc. However, when I try and start Docker, it shuts down the engine and pops up an error screen saying "Unexpected WSL error" and closes the app completely - More details below.

Reproduce

Install Docker Fresh on Windows 10
Start Docker - Don't get beyond that

Expected behavior

Docker Engine to start
