Having the same issue on osx 11.7.1 with intel chip, even after downgrading to Docker Desktop 4.10.1. Reinstalled both Kinsta and docker a few times, restarted machine. Like someone else mentioned above, force quitting Kinsta wouldn’t work, I had to go into activity monitor and kill a still running Kinsta process or else the next time I clicked the Kinsta app icon it would just reveal the same window hung at starting docker. Solution #2 above seems to have fixed the installation issue (sudo ln -s “$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock” /var/run/docker.sock).
