Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 11 setup with wsl --install, the Hyper-V command, and Docker Desktop, then check the linked Docker WSL 2 guidance. Confirm whether WSL integration is enabled and whether the docker command works before Docker Desktop is opened; document the finding or identify the relevant setup guidance that needs correction.
