In case someone lands up here after facing similar issues post updating Windows to May 2020 update which contains WSL2. In my case I also switched docker to WSL2 post which I started facing similar issues with some of my containers.

Note: Run the following commands in powershell (Run as administrator)

1. Disable Hyper-V.

   dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

   Get-HNSNetwork | Remove-HNSNetwork
