docker desktop start stop loop on m1

[h4l-yup]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID:829BCAB8-5664-4B50-9920-95B5EF3B645E/20220116131508

Expected behavior

It should be started.

Actual behavior

2022-01-16.10.25.07.mov

I have read #5477, #5483 and tried the solutions that are mentioned but none of them worked for me.
The docker desktop looping between start status and stop status and I can not access to preferences.
Resetting on debug tab does not work either.
This just happened when I changed some settings on preference page and I updated the app (maybe to 4.4.2 and I don't know the previous version that was installed but I installed the app two days ago from website so it would be the right before released version)
Also, I am not using internet sharing so it is not the reason.

Information

• macOS Version: 12.0.1
• Intel chip or Apple chip: Apple Chip (M1 Pro)
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.4.2 (73305)

Output of /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/com.docker.diagnose check

Hi @h4l-yup and @danbka33,
For both of you, the diagnostics reports an error because too many cpus are configured.
As a workaround, could you try lowering the number of requested processors in the settings file ?
The settings file is located at ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json
You would need to replace the line "cpus": 10 with "cpus": 8 as this is the maximum value we currently support.
We are working on a fix.
Thanks,
Frédéric Dalleau
