I hope someone can help me.
We just had this issue and managed to fix it. Seems like it is because a key step in the install was skipped - you probably don't have a linux distribution locally installed. We did an uninstall of docker (v 4.5.1) and then a clean install of Docker version 4.3.0.. Then a restart of the computer. It then prompted us to go to this page and follow the steps from step 4 onwards.
