Docker Desktop not starting possible elevated privileges issue - windows

Question

When I launch Docker Desktop. I cannot see it in the taskbar or the system tray.
I can see it running as a background process in task manager.
I try to run the diagnose it is
[2022-11-11T12:05:32.437862000Z][com.docker.diagnose.exe][I] set path configuration to OnHost
Starting diagnostics
[PASS] DD0027: is there available disk space on the host?
[SKIP] DD0028: is there available VM disk space?
[PASS] DD0002: does the bootloader have virtualization enabled?
[PASS] DD0018: does the host support virtualization?
[PASS] DD0001: is the application running?

I tried to run:
$ & 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon
from a different stack overflow answer but didn't work.
