+### Bug fixes and enhancements
+
+#### For all platforms
+
+- Fixed an issue found in version 4.44.0 that caused startup to fail when `vpnkit` CIDR is locked without specifying a value in Desktop Settings Management.
+
+#### For Windows
+
+- Fixed an issue where volumes and containers were not visible after an upgrade from distributions using the legacy `version-pack-data` directory structure.
+- Resolved a rare issue in WSL 2 where the Docker CLI failed with a **Proxy Authentication Required** error.
+- Fixed a bug where CLI plugins were not deployed to `~/.docker/cli-plugins` if the user lacked execution permissions on that directory.
