On Windows; this happened unconditionally (even on upgrades); which made existing images inaccessible.$$$$$$Users can now choose between the classic and containerd-snapshotter storage drivers via rdctl:$$$$$$rdctl set --container-engine.moby-storage-driver classic$$$rdctl set --container-engine.moby-storage-driver snapshotter$$$Rancher Desktop automatically selects the driver based on where your existing images are stored. See Migrating Images for instructions on moving images between storage drivers. Windows users affected by the 1.21.0 issue can switch back to the classic driver to regain access to their images.
