Tell us about your request
Admins can enable WSL2 via Group Policies on Windows, hence I would like to see that Docker Desktop can be installed + run on Windows without Admin Priviliges.

Which service(s) is this request for?
Docker Desktop for Windows

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Currently it is complex to maintain as also Upgrades requires Admin rights, so removing this entirely would really help maintaining the Software.

Are you currently working around the issue?
