Enabling experimental features in Docker Desktop hangs indefinitely on M1

[wscourge]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID:

Expected behavior

I'm able to enable the experimental features.

Actual behavior

I'm unable to enable the experimental features.

Please investigate the following 1 issue:

1 : The test: is the VM networking working?
    Failed with: network checks failed: failed to ping host: exit status 1

VM seems to have a network connectivity issue. Please check your host firewall and anti-virus settings in case they are blocking the VM.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open Docker Desktop
2. Open Preferences
3. Open Experimental Features
4. Check Enable VirtioFS accelerated directory sharing
5. Click Apply & Restart

At this point, it hangs indefinitely:

I let it run for around ~3h, to see if it is just very slow.
