I met the same issue in Windows 10.

Below solution helped me:

1. Quit Rancher Desktop

Quit Rancher

2. Run below command in Windows command line:

wsl --update

3. After update completed, open Rancher Desktop again.

Rancher Desktop works well now.

Rancher Desktop works well now

After completed installing Rancher desktop, you can use the docker and kubectl commands in Windows command line successfully.

  1. Right click Rancher Desktop Icon in Task bar, And Select "Quit Rancher Desktop"
  2. Done below in cmd.exe or powershell
> wsl --unregister rancher-desktop
> wsl --unregister rancher-desktop-data

In my case :

1.The Virtualization in BIOS was not enabled

2.You can check yours in Task manager > Performance Tab > CPU Section

Task Manager Picture

Once i enabled from BIOS it started working.
