Docker version 20.10.6 I have tried with multiple docker ee version that is 19.3 or 18.09

You have tried different docker version, however haven't tried different windows kube-proxy ones, especially 1.20.0 instead of 1.21.0 that you have installed as per provided manual.

curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-tools/releases/latest/download/kube-proxy.yml | sed 's/VERSION/v1.20.0/g' | kubectl apply -f -

Kube-Proxy-Windows CrashLoopBackOff. CHeck also EDIT1 that fix flannel issue.
