WSL environment detected but no adapters were found

When executing launch.ps1, the following error occurs:

Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error running hook #0: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: Auto-detected mode as 'legacy'
nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: WSL environment detected but no adapters were found: unknown

A relatively rare error that may be caused by hot plugging of the GPU. I can reproduce the glitch on devices that support this feature such as the Surface Book 2.

Also, in older Windows this issue can be caused by WSL not supporting direct use of the GPU, more investigation is needed on this.

The solution:

For the former, you can try to restart the system, and do not to remove the GPU after booting.

For the latter, make sure you are using the latest graphics card drivers, Docker Desktop and WSL2. You can update your WSL2 with wsl --update.
