Docker Desktop 4.39 | Sail, WSL integration fails

I’ve just updated Docker Desktop (DD) to the latest version and I’m able to run the first WSL distribution D01. (Laravel 12 Sail, Win 11).

But when I try to work with distribution D02, DD always open D01 in the dashboard (it also open D01 if No distribution is selected): Here are my steps:

  • When DD starts, the dashboard shows the images in my default distribution D01,
  • Then I setup my second distribution D02 as default; checked with WSL --list
  • In DD > Resources > WSL Integration: the checkbox “Enable integration with my default distro” is checked (and nothing else).
  • Finally when I reboot DD the dashboard always shows D01 (instead of D02) - why?
  • In DD I also tried to manually select D02 , same issue Thanks
