I had the same issue when updated docker desktop with WSL2 backed has a work around I did the following steps:

1. In docker desktop settings i enabled again the "enabled integration with other distros"
2. Apply and restart the changes then stop Docker desktop.
3. Enter to Settings -> Apps and search for ubuntu
4. Click on Ubuntu and advanced settings
5. Select repair
6. Restart the computer
7. After computer starts enter to the ubuntu wsl via console or terminal
8. Start docker desktop
9. Try docker ps or docker-compose to check if the error was resolved.
