<p>I have installed Docker Desktop (<code>version : 2.3.0.4</code>) and enabled <code>Kubernetes</code>.
I deployed couple of PODS and everything was working fine, Since yesterday I am facing a weird issue mentioned below:</p>
<pre><code>Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:6443: connectex: No 
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
</code></pre>
<p>As such, no changes were made on my system. I am using Linux Containers on Windows 10 machine.</p>
<p>Following steps I have tried:</p>
<ol>
<li>Restarted the Docker Desktop</li>
<li>Tried the same with minikube and Docker Desktop both</li>
<li>Tried to disable the firewall but due to some permissions, I am not able to turn it off.</li>
<li>I have reset the kubernetes cluster as well.</li>
</ol>
