ErrorI got an error Docker failed to initialize, Docker Desktop is shutting down.
I uninstalled then restart my computer then I reinstalled again with admin. But couldnt solve this error. I used Windows 10 Home Single Language
How can I solve this error? (I attached screenshot)
Thanks
In windows 10 home, hiperv(hypervisor) to available(but you can also enable it). so you have to use wsl, so follow this guide on how to install docker desktop with wsl.
if you followed the guide, please check,
Windows subsystem for Linux
Virtual Machine Platform
are enabled in Windows features, check this guide if you don't know how to enable them.

I have installed Docker Desktop version 4.4.4 and it is not running. It only displays "Docker Desktop Starting ..." but never starts running.
I have tried so many ways but didn't solve:
Allowing the following files in windows firewall C:\program files\docker\docker\resources\vpnkit.exe, C:\program files\docker\docker\com.docker.service C:\program files\docker\docker\resources\com.docker.proxy.exe
Removing 'Docker' and 'Docker Desktop' folders from AppData/Roaming and AppData/Local
Uninstalling and reinstalling Docker with different versions including 4.5.1
The main problem is WSL2 does not auto install the kernel when WSL2 installs, yet Docker Desktop expects it already installed. So, fully close & stop Docker as other answers have said, then run this cmd as admin:
wsl --update
Now open Docker Desktop & it should start up ok.
I've found out another symptom leading to the solution is also related to WSL.
On one side, Docker service won't start throwing this error:
error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon
is not running.: Get
"http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/version": open
//./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.
And on the other, WSL is unresponsive. Attempting to run a WSL Distro or WSL command directly on CMD, won't return any output at all. It will just hang in there.
So the solution is common to WSL and Docker.
I've found in a question regarding the WSL issue, that the LxssManager Windows service is staled (it may show under services.msc as Stopping and all the buttons are greyed out, or I've even seen it Running apparently, but with the Docker and WSL issues above, so something is wrong with it still.)
First, we have to get LxssManager PID in order to kill it. Using an elevated shell, we can get it this way:
sc queryex LxssManager
Having the PID, we can kill the process but beware I wasn't able to kill it using kill or taskkill commands. I was getting the following error:
ERROR: The process with PID XXXXX could not be terminated.
Reason: Access is denied.
To effectively kill the process, do as following:
wmic process where ProcessID=XXXXX delete
Replace XXXXX with PID, of course.
Having done so, start the LxssManager service:
net start LxssManager
A word of warning:
I've noted in some cases this is not enough for unknown (to me) technical reasons even if LxssManager service is shown as Running.
Just repeat the above steps! Sometimes it works doing this once, sometimes doing it twice for some reason.
TL;DR
Kill LxssManager Windows service using wmic+PID.
Start LxssManager service.
Repeat twice or more if issues persist.
Docker and WSL issues are solved.
Here i am using Windows platform, I faced this issue.
And to resolve this issue follow the below steps.
Just delete the temporary files from the following.
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Users{yourAccountName}\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Windows\Prefetch
then
Uninstall Docker Desktop
Restart computer
before installing docker, make sure you have Ubuntu WSL(download from Microsoft store)
[optional] If you need Terminal Preview(multi-terminal) download from Microsoft Store. Great Terminal
Install Docker Desktop Again
Thanks
For me, it was a problem with WSL. When I tried:
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
in a command window, after a few minutes I got error 0x80370114
The fix was to do:
Exploit Protection > System Settings > Control Flow Guard
turn on
restart computer
Then reinstall/restart Docker Desktop, and it works!
Hope this helps someone else
I was facing same code for for Docker version 4.*. For me it was Visual Studio code,
Stopped WSL form Task manager
stopped Docker which was showing "Docker desktop is starting" form Task manage
stopped Visual Studio code form Task manager
Started Docker again
These steps placed my Docker in Running state in 30 seconds
Hope this helps someone!
Solved this issue with #Alvi answer
Docker forever in "Docker is starting.." at Windows task
I guess you are using wsl2 features. In that case, open PowerShell or command prompt and type: optionalfeatures.exe
scroll down and uncheck
Windows Subsystem for Linux
apply the changes and restart your computer.
After restart follow the previous steps again and check
Windows Subsystem for Linux
and restart again. Hopefully now your docker will run
My fresh install was experiencing the same symptoms. Also wsl --list showed "no installed distributions". I tried many reinstallations and restarts of Docker and WSL, but eventually found the steps:
In Task Manager, kill all processes related to Docker & Docker Desktop
Run Docker Desktop as administrator
Got it working on on Windows 11 Enterprise.
for me it worked in windows (docker desktop):
to uninstall the docker
reinstall as administrator
don't select the part with wsl
As wrote here, you need to do:
wsl --update
But after that it doesn't fix my issue until I did restart to my pc.
What worked for me was to log in into the Docker (upper right corner), but when I first clicked on login, it said "exec: "rundll32": executable file not found in %PATH%" - I search and found that I need to check environmental variable in PATH that I have "C:\WINDOWS\system32" there - (and in my case I really had it broken somehow - don't know why, but I missed backslash between Windows and system32). So I fixed to correct path, restarted PC. Then I was able to login. And immediately "Docker Desktop Starting..." was gone.
I use Docker with PyCharm. I ran into this problem when I launched PyCharm and Docker Desktop at about the same time.
On my machine Docker Desktop starts automatically when I boot. I can avoid the problem by waiting for Docker Desktop to finish starting. And then start PyCharm.
I was also having the same problem, just a few minutes ago.
Platform:
Windows 10 Pro - 22H2 - Build 19045.2486
Windows Updates newly installed: KB5022282, KB5020876, KB5012170
What i did was: Activating the Windows Hypervisor Platform
And it did solve the problem, atleast for now
In my case it helped me to enable the CPU SVM (Support Vector Machine) function in my BIOS settings.
Also, if you have this feature disabled, you will not be able to use Virtual Box either.
SVM in BIOS
got to services and stop Docker desktop service and start again
reopen Docker desktop it will work
wsl -v
if it show version then linx is install
search windows programer feature in your laptop
enable virtulization
wsl --set-default-version 2
restart laptop and then start docker and wait for 2 minutes your docker will start working
I am running windows 11, visual studio 2023 and had this issue.
First, open a command prompt and type
wsl.exe --list --online
Then enter following
wsl.exe --install Ubuntu-20.04
Then type in the prompt sudo apt update to update the distribution. Lastly, start up Docker desktop and log in (you can register at their site). That fixed Docker on my pc.
I want to learn about Docker. So I go ahead to install Docker, check all requirements for Windows 11,
wsl2 is enabled in my system.
virtualization is also enabled.
I have 16gb ram
but I don't know why the docker engine don't start. Every time I see the following image click here
I have done so many things, I am listing all of them ---
Execute the command "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon by running command line as administrator but no effect.
I watch from an youtube video that some time ubuntu installed in wsl2 make interruption in docker daemon, so I uninstall it. But still the problem persists.
I installed hyper-v as there is no option for hyper-v in windows 11' s "turn windows features on or off" and enabled it. same problem exist.
Uninstalling and reinstalling docker and restarting multiple times, but still no luck.
I don't know why this happened. Please help me in this matter. I have windows 11 home single language installed in my computer.
I had the same problem in Windows 11, but the solution in the link below fixed it.
wsl --update

I am trying to run docker Desktop in my windows 10 Local. have installed it successfully but while running it I am getting the below error.
System.InvalidOperationException:
Failed to deploy distro docker-desktop to <localpath>: exit code: -1
stdout: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
I think it is saying some windows services need to be enabled, but I don't know which service has to be enabled could someone please help me with this concern?
docker version
C:\Users\lenova>docker --version
Docker version 20.10.2, build 2291f61
Uninstall Docker.
Uncheck Containers, Hyper-V, Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows features
Restart the system
Install Docker Desktop
Restart System
Start Docker Desktop
Right click on docker icon, run as administrator (if you have administrator rights on your computer). It solved the problem for me.
Try delete %USERPROFILE%/.wslconfig. If it helps then you can try to modify it so that it work. As for me I deleted the file, because on my workstation docker didn't want to work with it
Almost sure, that the accepted answer will work. However, it won't be an option, if you utilize WSL for other purposes as well. In that case, you may have several configurations/apps in WSL and just reinstalling or deleting your configuration will probably be a bad solution.
Furthermore: WSL is not the issue for this error! It is created by Docker engine configuration which will kill the WSL service (LxxsManager). This may happen because of
changed configuration (by you) or
because of a Docker update, maybe also
because of Windows updates
You can find a detailed discussion about this issue on Docker's GitHub Issues.
I personally experienced this problem after installing updates on Windows while running Docker v3.5.2. And again, reinstalling/killing WSL is not an option for me! So I tried to kill all services (Docker and WSL) and update Docker. Unfortunately that did not work in first place, since LxxsManager was in some weird state and I could not even kill it any more (even a kill command as admin with force switch did not do it's job!)... So here is my solution to fix that problem:
Remove Docker from autostart
Restart Windows (Yippiee: WSL works again! 🥰)
Install a new version of Docker (in my case v.4.2.0)
Restart Windows again (probably not necessary, but for me it was because Docker engine did not start before a Windows restart)
Start Docker (Yippiee: Docker works again! ☺️)
Note: Since I did not change Docker configuration, I installed an update. If you changed configuration options resulting in that crash, your solution may be different. Literally, instead of updating Docker (step 3) you would probably roll back your Docker configuration changes instead.
The quality of Docker for Windows is very bad. I catch these dangerous very often.
Check list:
(1) Use this tool https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.html . Search docker, delete all.
(2) Remove WSL sub system, Hyper-V, then restart
(3). Create file foo.reg has content
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\AppId_Catalog\0408F7A3]
"AppFullPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe"
"PermittedLspCategories"=dword:80000000
run.
(4) Uninstall Docker
(5) Run cmd type ... . Delete folder .docker
Delete Docker folder in Program Files
(6) delete
(7) Install latest version of Docker.
(8) Re-install feature WSL for Windows.
Install Ubuntu from Windows store
(9) Re-install Docker (as Administrator)
(10) Run Docker as Administrator .
In my case, I was getting a similar error. This was happening because Docker desktop didn't have permissions to access the path C:\Users\Adithya\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\distro. This started happening after I switched to WSL2 backend.
The solution was to kill all docker process. Next, Run Docker Desktop as Administrator.
System.InvalidOperationException:
Failed to deploy distro docker-desktop to C:\Users\Adithya\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\distro:
exit code: -1 stdout: The operation timed out because a response was not received from the virtual machine or container.
run as administrator , and you switch the container to windows by clicking the icon bar in the right corner taskbar and choose switch to windows container
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/quick-start-windows-10-linux
If you don't need to run Linux and Windows containers side-by-side, an option is to turn off the WSL and use Hyper-v instead. This should work fine.
I had to exit Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN to get docker to work on my system. Not sure why.
I had the PgAdmin 4 app running, and when I closed it and tried starting Docker Desktop again it booted normally.
Not sure if there is a link, but an easy solution to try.
This worked for me: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/547#issuecomment-873540236
Copy below snippet:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\AppId_Catalog\0408F7A3]
"AppFullPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe"
"PermittedLspCategories"=dword:80000000
Save it as a file wsl.reg
Execute the file to update the registry
Launch Ubuntu again
Issue resolved
In my case, the issue was caused by Acrylic DNS server. Anything that holds port 53, would be a problem.
Interesting that it all worked fine for a few days after installation, maybe because I did not reboot the laptop all that time, only used the deep hibernation. So it was hard to guess what could break the docker setup, I was sure that it was because of the recently installed windows or docker updates.
Restarting wsl worked for me.
Run the following
wsl --shutdown, wait for it to shutdown
wsl, wait for it to start
Start Docker Desktop after this.
On Windows 10:
Open Services
Right click on LXSSMANAGER -> Restart
Close wsl using cmd with following command:
wsl --shutdown
Execute following start wsl again:
wsl
I solved by the following steps:
Uninstall Docker and WSL 2 kernel.
Uncheck Containers, Hyper-V, Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows
features
Restart the system
Install Docker Desktop
Restart System
Start Docker Desktop
The problem is in WSL as it becomes unresponsive and returns a service error if you try the following command in PowerShell:
wsl -l -v
I believe the process can be simplified a bit more with:
Uncheck Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows Features
Reboot
Turn the feature back on
Re-apply the WSL2 update
Reboot
No need to uninstall/reinstall Docker Desktop.
This got me back up and running with Windows 10 Home (which requires WSL2) and Docker Desktop 2.4.0
I have a problem with my divio app.
setting up my divio application for the first time, I managed to get a check mark for "docker client", "docker compose", "docker machine" and "virtual box" by installing docker toolbox, however, when trying to install "docker server connection" it seems that Divio app gets stuck at "installing" and nothing actually happens. I left it for hours and nothing happened. What am I getting wrong here? Is it permission issues or something else?
P.S. I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Any help is highly appreciated.
Docker, and therefore the Divio local development environment, will run natively on Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise.
On other versions (Windows 10 Home, and earlier versions) it cannot run natively and must be run in a virtual machine.
This is why your installation requires Docker Toolbox and VirtualBox. The best way to get past this is to upgrade to Windows 10 Professional, but that's not an option for everyone.
If the Divio app detects that your system does not support Docker natively, it will do its best to install Docker Toolbox and VirtualBox, but this set-up is more complex and fragile, and as you have seen, setting it up can sometimes fail.
Try these steps:
Quit the Divio application.
Make sure that VirtualBox on your system is fully up-to-date with the latest version. You can download and install it from the VirtualBox website.
Make sure that Docker Toolbox is fully up-to-date with the latest version. You can download and install it from the Docker Toolbox.
Make sure that both applications are able to run if you launch them manually.
Ensure that you are running as an administrator user.
Check that virtualisation is enabled in your PC's BIOS.
Finally, try again with the Divio app.
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!
