Actual behavior

Service crashes after switching from linux containers to windows containers once I attempt to launch a windows container from within Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL1. I'm using docker-ce 20.10.83-0ubuntu-focal within the WSL1 OS.

Expected behavior

I should be able to launch Windows images from within Ubuntu on WSL1 as long as the docker daemon on port 2375 is set for Windows.

Information

<Please, help us understand the problem. For instance:

I'm launching interactive Windows docker containers from within Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL1.

In 3.5.x, this stopped working. Even when the service was set to Windows containers, the clients disallowed non-linux images/containers.

This appears to have been corrected in 3.6.0 and I was able to run some windows images on Friday. Today the service crashes when I try to switch to Windows images from Linux and then attempt to use it.

• Windows Version:
• Docker Desktop Version: 3.6.0
• WSL2 or Hyper-V backend? WSL2 backend
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or a VM: No

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Set docker for desktop to use linux containers.
2. Switch to Windows containers.
3. Observe crash
