Docker desktop automatically stopped on Windows 10 - docker

Recently I faced a problem that when I open docker desktop it's automatically stopped after a few seconds. I try to solve it in several ways like reinstalling the docker desktop and also trying some methods that are available on the internet as solutions. But these do not work for me.
Is anyone can help me, please.

Most of the times the problem is related to wsl2 , hyper-v or cpu virtualization. check this parameters

Docker failed to initialize Docker Desktop is shutting down

This question was already asked a lot, but I didn't found a solution which is working for me.
I downloaded Docker Desktop with his guide for my windows 10 machine. After a successful installation the application does not start.
Following this solution didn't work. I deleted settings.json and restarted everything without success. Even reinstalling did not work. Any one has an other idea?
Edit:Reinstalling an older version (3.6.0 in my case) fixed the issue, but there has to be some other way...
Stop all processes with Docker and remove all content from the directory
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Docker
After that start Docker Desktop.

docker desktop wsl 2 backend has stopped unexpectedly

I am facing issue with Docker desktop. it is getting crashed in 15-20 min.
Docker Desktop 4.3.2
Docker 20.10.11
Windows 10 PRO
reference link: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12477
I met that problem too, but that's when I start a relatively big image/container, and don't see many useful solutions on the community.
One tutorial that I follow is, add some config documents to limit the RAM use of the WSL-2, and restart my PC, it seems to work.
User Win+R, then enter '%UserProfile%' to enter the user dictionary in Windows, create a file: '.wslconfig', and then edit the file as follows:
[wsl2]
memory=8GB
swap=0
localhostForwarding=true
The 'memory' should be edited by the condition of our laptops, I used 4GB in my one. Then restart the PC.
I'm new to Docker, don't know whether it's the right solution, but it seems work in my laptop:D Hope that can help someone meet the same problem.

Visual Studio 2019 - No Attach to Process Type option for Docker (Windows Container)

I have a bunch of containers running .Net Framework Apps on Windows Containers. Apps work great, containers work perfectly. I need to debug some code on one of the containers using VS2019 and according to this article it should be easy https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/attach-to-process-running-in-docker-container?view=vs-2019
Unfortunately, I only see "Docker (Linux Container)". I do not see an option for "Docker (Windows Container)" and I don't see any additional steps needed in the articles or any other to enable this.
I can confirm that my Docker Desktop is switched to Windows Container and everything is working perfectly I just don't see this option but seems like I should be able to. Has anyone come across this and found a solution? I saw some stuff for installing a remote debugger on the container but again the article does not say this is a prerequisite. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
To anyone facing the same issue, the answer is to upgrade your visual studio 2019 instance to the latest. I noticed I was on 16.4.x. I upgraded to 16.8.3 and the options all appeared and worked as expected. Apparently the options for Windows containers and the new WSL 2 based engine are only available in 16.5.x and above. Hope this helps someone out.

Hey Sorry but drives for sharing is the linux only version of Docker.

Docker installation error on windows

I am trying to install Docker client on windows but when i start the installer i get the below pop up .
Can someone please guide me what should the solution to this issue be.
I am using windows 7 enterprise, 64 bit.
Thanks in advance.
Docker requires Windows 10. If you are using Windows 7, use Docker toolbox from the following location
https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/overview/.
As you install the toolbox, automatically the VM virtual box also will get installed. Atleast, that is what happened to me.
After installation, my docker container did not start properly.
So, I uninstalled the VM virtual box, installed it again, then started the kitematic and it was all a great flow to see my docker up and running!
Couple of the links that helped me gain better understanding:
