Docker Desktop sign-in has had problems for a long time. I once reinstalled everything to get it to work. One time I stopped docker service from the command line, this time I launched Docker Desktop and signed in the way the Desktop wanted me to. I got the Proceed to the desktop and it did not work, so I tried it again and this time I got Proceed to the desktop directly without having to sign in on the browser. SO this time, I launched the Docker terminal from the Docker Desktop interface. You find it in the bottom right corner. I used the command line and typed $docker login
It immediately logged it the GUI. There is no easy answer, why it has to go back to the browser and proceed to the desktop is beyond me. If it has to connect in some way, let the App log in and then when neccessary connect to the web.

I encountered this too. Just installed Docker Desktop, clicking on sign in button doesn't do anything.
