Repro Steps

Loading docker gives me this error.

(HTTP code 400) unexpected - failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting "/run/desktop/mnt/host/g/program" to rootfs at "/code": mount /run/desktop/mnt/host/g/program:/program(via /proc/self/fd/6), flags: 0x5000: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type

And starting WSL in the dev drive gives me this error

<3>WSL (289) ERROR: CreateProcessCommon:551: chdir(/mnt/g/program) failed 13
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

I assumed that this is an issue with the latest windows update. I tried to roll back the update but after it restarts my computer the update still shows up as installed.

Expected Behavior

I expect not to see any errors and docker to work and be able to open a dev drive

Actual Behavior

Docker does not work and can't open any dev drives.

Windows 11, but looks like same issue from Visual Studio trying to start a Docker container:

Docker command failed with exit code 125.
docker: Error response from daemonL failed to create task for container:
failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed:
unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting
"/run/desktop/mnt/host/e/[...folder...]/[...folder...]/[...project folder...]" to rootfs at "/src": stat
/run/desktop/mnt/host/e/[...folder...]/[...folder...]/[...project folder...]: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.
If the error persists, try restarting Docker Desktop.

Needless to state: shutting down docker desktop and visual studio and restarting docker desktop and visual studio did not resolve this.
