Laravel installation with Docker on Windows Home

Hi everybody ! I am trying to install Laravel in development environment on my Windows Home machine with Docker and Sail. I have installed Doker Desktop and WSL2 as described in Laravel manual. But when I try to perform the following command in cli:

curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

I am getting one single message:

"Docker is not running."

And nothing happens although I have Docker up and running. Just in case I tried to run

docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

and it's working fine. Kind regards.
