sudo service docker start
then:
sudo service docker status
result :
* Docker is running
BUT on running the test container with :
sudo docker run hello-world
Error:docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'.
and the status now is
* Docker is not running

i HAVE downloaded docker for ubuntu according to the :official website
In windows features i have WSL, Windows Hypervisor Platform, Virtual Machine Platform enabled here's a screenshot
I dont have Hyper-V
I have been using WSL for general purpose proggraming for about 6 months now. Never got stuck this way

The error you are mentioning is present in WSL1.
Please cross check that your WSL2 is setup properly? It needs Windows 10 build 18917 or later.
If you Setup your WSL2 properly then you won’t have any issue running Docker on WSL2
Follow this link for WSL2 Setup -
