Docker startup issue - wsl.exe update


After updating docker to latest version 4.33.1 on windows 10 pro, I started getting the following error. 

wsl update failed: update failed: updating wsl: exit code: 4294967295: running WSL command wsl.exe C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe --update --web-download

The popup box details ended with the following error code

: exit status 0xffffffff

The issue was fixed after re-installing the docker version 

4.28.0


I also installed the WSL version 2.3.17
