I have issue with version 3.1 of Docker Desktop and on enabling kubernetes its always stuck at Starting looking at logs in i can see repeating the following log from (AppData/Local/Docker/log.txt):

\"https://kubernetes.docker.internal:6443/apis/coordination.k8s.io/v1/namespaces/kube-node-lease/leases/docker-desktop\": net/http: TLS handshake timeout"
[16:15:55.267][GoBackendProcess  ][Info   ] msg="external: POST /events 200 \"DockerDesktopGo\" \"\""
[16:16:06.268][ApiProxy          ][Info   ] msg="cannot get lease for master node: Get \"https://kubernetes.docker.internal:6443/apis/coordination.k8s.io/v1/namespaces/kube-node-lease/leases/docker-desktop\": net/http: TLS handshake timeout"
[16:16:06.268][GoBackendProcess  ][Info   ] msg="external: POST /events 200 \"DockerDesktopGo\" \"\""

I have tried deleting the pki folder inside AppData/Local/Docker , but without any success.

This looks like a common issue reported here or here, which occurs also on MacOS. As per this comment, apart from deleting pki, you should also remove .kube directory and restart Docker:

I have workarounded as:

rm -rf ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/pki/
rm -rf ~/.kube

And restarting docker

As mentioned in this comment, the respective directory on Windows can be found in:

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Docker

If none of the above helps, as the last resort solution you may try to completely re-install your Docker Desktop as there might be some remnants of the previous installation causing the issue. Compare with this comment.
