I had the same issue when I tried use kubrnetes installed with Docker. It turned out that it was not enbled by default.

First I enabled kubrnetes in Docker options and then I changed context for docker-for-desktop

kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config use-context docker-for-desktop

It solved the issue.
