WSL 2 on Windows 10 Professional and Docker... A mismatch?

[IVTore]

Windows 10 pro ver.1909 build 18363.900
WSL 2 installed. Ubuntu and Alpine installed.
Docker desktop 2.3.0.3 (45519) stable. Engine: 19.03.8
Docker Desktop / Settings / General / Checkbox "Use the WSL 2 based engine." is not enabled.
Please if this is a normal behaviour (which means in Win 10 pro it is not possible to use WSL 2 and docker together)
Update your documentation accordingly. One minute for you, man years of cumulative effect on users.

Thanks in advance, keep up the good work.

From https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl/#prerequisites:

Before you install the Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend, you must complete the following steps:

1. Install Windows 10, version 2004 or higher.
   ...

But I'm puzzled. I'm not sure how you can have installed WSL 2 on Windows 1909.

Well here is a visual summary 😄

Is that WSL 1 or WSL 2?

PS I notice that the required Windows version is also shown next to the checkbox!

Now working on checking and kicking wsl2 on win 10 pro. It reports as loaded but is not. WSL 1 is running. Sorry my bad. Windows is a good con artist 😄

Sorry for you too.
